  • One in 10 people cannot remember own phone numbers, new study reveals

    One in 10 people cannot remember own phone numbers, new study reveals

    A recent survey conducted by WhistleOut, a consumer-focused website, has revealed that one in 10 people cannot remember their own phone numbers.

    The study reported that about 80 per cent of survey respondents had only a handful of phone numbers that they had memorised.

    The research revealed that one in 10 people could not remember their own phone numbers, 16 per cent do not have their parents’ numbers memorised and 17 per cent do not have their partner’s number memorised. Only 49 per cent have memorised between two to five numbers.  

    The reliance on mobile devices keeps people from retaining important information. A 2020 Panda Security survey termed it as “Digital Amnesia”, the effects of technology dependence that leads to an inability to remember things.

    A previous study said that six in 10 people simply “couldn’t cope” without their cell phones for more than a day and one in eight suffer anxiety when their phone battery is low.

    Shadab Khan reveals his wedding date, Babar Azam’s number in a tell-all Q&A

    Pakistan’s right-arm spinner Shadab Khan recently hosted a question and answer (Q&A) session on his Instagram. The prodigious turner of the ball answered to some interesting questions. From his wedding date to Pakistan’s all-format captain Babar Azam’s phone number, Shadab had hilarious responses to the questions.

    A fan asked the young cricketer that when is he getting married? Answering to the question, he said: “The question is good but I don’t have the answer.”

    One of the netizens asked Shadab to share his number. Not only his but the fan also asked for Babar Azam’s number as well.

    Replying to the fan, he said: “Bhai q nahe abhi bhajta houn. (Why not brother. Sending in a while.)”

    Another fan said: “Where does Babar Azam live?” He jokingly replied: “I am not completely sure about it but I think he lives in his home.”

    One of the fans asked that where does the 23-year-old cricketer live? He said that he lives in Rawalpindi. While another one asked for the exact location, Shadab sarcastically said: “Will be sending you the full address, it shall be easy for you.”

    One of the question was hilarious as it read: “Plz marry me bhai.” Shadab laughed at it and replying, he said: “Brothers and sisters can’t marry each other.”

    Another fan said: “Rishta dhoondein aap k liye. (Should we find a ‘rishta’ for you?).”

    While thanking his fans for the concern of his marriage, Shadab said: “I have realised that all of you are so much concerned about my marriage. Thank you for your interest.”

    One of the fans asked about his thoughts on Babar Azam’s maiden Test wicket and his bowling. He said that “Babar is trying to take our place (in the team) but he did really well.”

    Babar Azam took his maiden Test wicket on Wednesday as Pakistan clinched the two-match Test series against Bangladesh in Dhaka on the same day. Pakistan white-washed the hosts with an exquisite victory of 2-0.

    The Test team has flown back home and are set to play against West Indies in Karachi, starting from December 13.
