I think maybe the author has a point. It does seem like the quantity of people are suffering from memory issues has increased lately.

It could be a combination of stress and lack of sleep, which of course in turn, could be caused by technological factors for example.

Then sometimes I have to wonder though, do we have realistic expectations on memory? There's just so many systems (at work) and so much stuff, maybe we're overloading ourselves past realistic expectations?

If we're speaking very recently, some of this may be due to the covid isolation.

Chronic stress, reduced physical activity and subclinical depression is quite the cocktail for attention and memory difficulties.

Don’t forget the virus itself. It is not gentle on the neurons.

Chronic stress, reduced physical activity is quite related to technologies too
