Technology is not actually ruining our brains but perhaps there is too much information entering our brains now, compared to 20-30 years ago. Perhaps our brains are re-prioritizing what needs to be remembered and what not.
I personally code without using any reference/cheat sheets (not in Erhlang ;) ) , but for the life of me I can never remember my mobile number!

There's been an explosion of content and communication in recent times. Too much noise makes it harder for minds to rest. I've noticed that calm, alert people tend to have full heads of hair and excellent memories!
