Yeah, maps....And phone numbers. We used to remember them and would have may "stored" internally (ie, memorised) for quick, easy use. I still remember the phone numbers of my childhood friends. No more.
That said, old Thamus was a bit of a party pooper.
The pattern always repeats itself: new technology = cheating. Memorizing vs. writing, the scribe vs. the printing press, artist vs. photographer, skilled tradesmen vs. the assembly line, the library vs. the internet, and now all of that which went before vs. AI. Technologies change, arguments stay the same.
