I do still quite easily remember my parents' and grandparents' phone numbers from when I was a kid... but that's beside the point, because writing down phone numbers is not akin to taking photos of every damned thing you ever do.
Maybe your life is just that much more eventful and exciting than mine, but I struggle to imagine what it is that you'd need to take photos of to remember straight. Like... what is it exactly that you do take photos of? I don't get it. I really honestly do not understand.
I have the personal example of going on vacation and taking few photos. I don't need the photos to remember the sights I saw, and I would scarcely ever look at photos again even if I did snap 'em. I still vividly remember lots of things I saw; the things I think I subconsciously really give a damn about remembering in detail. Of the stuff I don't remember in detail: so what? I don't care if I have photos of that stuff, it doesn't really matter to me anyway.
