Diminished brain function. I’ve observed in recent years that co-workers,
especially those I’ve attempted to train, all seem to be losing
their short-term memory. They’ll set a coffee cup down and forget
its whereabouts 10 seconds later. They’ll work on stuff for the field
and leave the office without it. Ten years ago, trainees could be given
three or four tasks at one time and remember them all...now they can only
handle one at a time, at best—very spooky! Children in particular,
who should have a strong memory, seem affected also. Store clerks
and others seem to suffer from these same neurological symptoms as well.
