Can Heavy Screen Time Cause Memory Issues?
A few weeks ago, I asked myself questions like: What phone numbers do I actually remember? How many of my friends’ birthdays do I know without Facebook’s help? I realized I was outsourcing a lot of information to my digital devices and that I was exercising my memory less than I used to.

“The Elephant and the Goldfish” isn’t a fable by La Fontaine. It’s the name of this issue that dives into memory in the age of hyper-connectivity. An edition that, I hope, you’ll remember.
Memories of Memory
In Greek mythology, memory takes form in the goddess Mnemosyne. What kind of perception of memory did Greek mythology leave us?
Painting by Frederic Leighton representing her.
She is the personification of “mnêmê,” which translates to memory in ancient Greek.
You might guess that it’s from this root we get the word “mnemonic,” but also “a-mnesia,” for instance. Mnemosyne belongs to the pantheon of gods—those who existed from the beginning.
As a prominent figure, the goddess is said to have named all things, and thus is considered the origin of language and knowledge.
Memory was revered by the Greeks; Mnemosyne even had a dedicated cult on Mount Olympus. For them, memory was sacred, as it gave life to the past in a largely oral society.
Memory was what allowed humanity to transcend its own temporality, making it much more than a simple cognitive faculty, but a pillar of their civilization.
How Does the Machine Work?
Modernity has demystified how memory works. Scientifically, we know much more about it, though a few gray areas remain.
The brain has three “types” of memory, which complement each other:
Sensory memory (or immediate memory): it briefly captures information from the senses—smell, vision, hearing… It’s the first gateway.
Short-term memory (or working memory): the memory of the present. It allows us to retain information while performing a task or activity. Constantly solicited, it enables us to remember a phone number just long enough to write it down or retain the beginning of a sentence until we finish it. It works like a buffer memory. The information it holds can be quickly erased or transferred to long-term memory.
Long-term memory: this is the brain’s hard drive. Its storage capacity is vast, and information is preserved there for a long time. It has three types, depending on the nature of the information stored:
Episodic memory: for personal memories (e.g., your beach vacation, leaving a suitcase on a train).
Semantic memory: for general knowledge and concepts (e.g., what a table is, or the concept of freedom).
Procedural memory: for motor skills (e.g., riding a bike, typing on a keyboard).
To summarize, here’s a little diagram to help understand:
The memorization process can be summed up in three steps, from perceiving new information to reusing it:
Encoding: the processing of information from our environment. Translating the info into “neuronal language.”
Storage: information is categorized and reinforced to ensure durability.
Retrieval: stored information is accessed for a specific purpose.
With the rise of new technologies, some of these systems may be disrupted.

The Google Effect, or Assisted Forgetting
In Phaedrus, Plato has one character say about writing:
“You have not found a remedy to strengthen memory, but to help you remember.”
Greek philosophy had its reservations about things that allowed us to rely less on our memory. Today, what would they say?
The trap technology lays for us is much bigger. A 2011 study led to the expression “Google Effect.”
40 participants were divided into two groups. Each person had to read, then type on a computer, a list of facts like “The Columbia shuttle exploded in February 2003.”
To the first group, researchers said this document would be deleted.
To the second group, they said the file would be saved.
Then, participants were asked to recall as many facts as they could from memory. Surprising result 👉 participants who thought the file would be deleted remembered 50% more information than the others.
We increase our ability to memorize when we think we won’t be able to access the info again. Conversely, when we know information is accessible somewhere, we remember it less well.
This is the Google Effect.
Today, we rely on tech to remember everything. Phone numbers, directions, appointment reminders. Everything is stored outside the brain.
While the Google Effect is efficient for organizing and categorizing information, it can also lead to becoming overly dependent on digital devices.
Memory, like a muscle, needs exercise to stay sharp.
Relying solely on external resources weakens our ability to remember. We make less effort mentally to retrieve certain information and search for answers within ourselves.
This habit makes the brain lazy for certain tasks.
Convenience has a cost: it’s essential to engage personally in the process of memorization and reflection
Here’s a snapshot of midnight, December 31, 2023, on the Champs-Elysées. No one is hugging. Everyone is capturing the moment through their screen. This image reflects a worrying trend: outsourcing our memories to our phones.
Delegating the present moment.
It’s digital amnesia: living the moment through a screen, we divert our full attention from reality. This is a major problem because memory feeds on this attention. Moments don’t deeply imprint in our minds if we haven’t given them our full attention.
Attention is the key to strong memories, the kind that shape our lives.
Technology and Memory Atrophy
According to Catherine Price in her book How to Break Up with Your Phone,
“Distraction hampers the brain’s ability to transfer memories from short-term to long-term storage.”
Indeed, every memory inscribed in long-term memory passes through short-term memory. It takes time and energy for the latter to make this transfer. Notifications, emails, endless scrolling: we face digital overstimulation today.
These digital bombardments overwhelm working memory, which unfortunately can only manage a limited number of thoughts at once.
It’s fragile and easily overwhelmed.
Problem 👉 smartphones quickly bring us to saturation.
Distraction overloads the brain, which then expends less energy storing things in long-term memory. Constantly consuming information, the brain doesn’t have time to digest it.
It’s intoxication. 🤯
We have less time to consolidate and synthesize our memory, which is a vital process. Beyond the amount of information, another issue lies in how we process it.
When using our phones, for instance, we jump between content and conversations frequently. We’re focused on multiple topics without fully concentrating on any one of them.
These shifts in focus can prevent an idea or thought from being sufficiently recorded in memory. This state of continuous partial attention ultimately weakens our ability to remember. It also limits our capacity to create new cognitive patterns, thus affecting our creativity.
Working memory is like a battery.
The energy it has is limited. And with each bit of info we take in, we drain this battery faster throughout the day, letting unnecessary things take up space. A 2023 study confirms this: the more screens are consulted during the day, the weaker the brain becomes.
More frequent forgetfulness, concentration issues, and mental fog appear as a result.
Tomorrow, all Dory?
Neuropsychologist researcher Francis Eustache adds:
“We have less and less time to synthesize our memory. We rarely daydream. Yet, this time is essential to consolidate our knowledge.”
So, emptiness is essential from time to time. The battery needs to recharge. Living better with hyper-connectivity also means allowing the brain time to rest between digital onslaughts.
Rest is productive: it consolidates, allowing us to retrieve information better afterward.
When cognitive load is too great, the brain lacks the resources to connect new information and experiences to our preexisting schemas. And the poorer these schemas, the less you can develop complex reasoning and new ideas. Our ability for deep reflection is at stake.
Taking Care
No specific advice today, just a general guideline.
A brain that trains properly becomes stronger, fortifies itself, and works better. The Greeks anticipated this. Today, in the face of digital omnipresence, this wisdom is all the more relevant. Managing our information consumption and allowing the brain breaks isn’t a luxury.
It’s a necessity to protect memory and creativity.
Memory is one of the cognitive faculties most affected by uncontrolled digital use. Our digital habits are increasingly becoming a marker that distinguishes individuals.
It’s a choice: to stimulate our brain or let it atrophy.
The screen should be a tool for elevation, not a vector of cognitive decline. The brain is the foundation of your performance and well-being. We must take care of it.
Free Your Brain
Sometimes, you don’t even realize how much time you’re spending on screens. Everything happens so fast. Séverine Erhel, PhD in cognitive psychology, explains in Epsiloon magazine that we’re quickly pulled into loops that disconnect us from a sense of time.
Videos play back-to-back without interruption, often repeating, which makes us “lose track of time,” while “the lack of visual cues hinders our ability to gauge our usage.”
That’s why it’s essential to do two things: 1) take regular breaks to stimulate your brain in ways that don’t involve screens, and 2) set boundaries to let your mind breathe and, most importantly, avoid being sucked into uncontrollable vortexes.
For this, you can use the Jomo app, available for free on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. With Jomo, you can create “disconnection sessions.” For example, you might decide that on Sundays, from 10 AM to 4 PM, all apps are blocked (except the essentials like calls or WhatsApp) or set a block period in the evening before bed.
Jomo is designed to make it super simple to fight the attention economy. In just four taps, you’re back in control — it’s that easy. And the benefits are massive!
You can also set time limits for specific apps. This is crucial for two reasons: 1) to avoid getting trapped by recommendation algorithms and spending more time than planned, and 2) to take regular breaks and give your brain some breathing room. (On Jomo, app usage limits don’t necessarily reset daily but, for instance, can be configured to refresh every two hours.)
