This was one of the points Neil Postman made in "Technopoly", 30 years ago. Every new technology introduced to the society is a negotiation with the culture. It may bring some benefits, but will also re-define or even takes something away.
It's nice that these days I can talk to my father in some fancy messaging/video call apps. But the other day I had to give him a phone call, as I was dialing the number I noticed some melody echoed in my mind. Then I remembered when I was little, in order to memorize his number(so that I could call him from the landline), I made a song out of it.
