It does keep track of time, it's just that if you go to a new time zone (for instance, from Eastern Standard Time to Central Mountain Time), you need to reset the time.

I've gone to lots of different time zones, and never reset the time on my computer.  It always still had the "right" time on it when I got home.

Read "Undauted Courage" about the L & C expedition. Merriwether Lewis used to demonstrate it to the indians as sort of an ice breaker as he encountered new tribes along his way.

You are also extrapolating the results of many trials from the results of one (possibly a friend's).  You are also exaggerating and fear mongering.  What you are saying simply isn't true.  Look at the forum community, there are plenty of intelligent people who use computers.  Furthermore, if this effect is so powerful, why can you read what I say?

extrapolating results? exaggerating and fear mongering? the people within this forum are just a microcosm of the overall population, hardly an example for what you're trying to assert. although there is a good segment who through the use of technology have lost the basic abilities learned in elementary school and, common sense has no more meaning than two words in the english language. you may live in some backwoods hole in the wall town where people haven't succumbed to the ignorance technology has brought to the masses but, i can tell you from a lifetime of travelling and spending time in many different places, the few who can build and/or utilize technology to improve themselves are by far outnumbered by those who have become ignorant with it.

Not to nitpick, but a microcosm is a small world representative of the world at large.

I do not live in the middle of nowhere, (although there are few things to do here), I live near a major city.  I know plenty of people who use technology, and they are just fine.  What abilities have they lost?  Grammar?  I see typical teenage writing when we peer-review papers, but nothing resembling OMG BFF LOL.

I've gone to lots of different time zones, and never reset the time on my computer.  It always still had the "right" time on it when I got home.

You are correct, sir.  I should have added that the computer in question does not automatically update the time based on a reliable source.

That's also why it isn't replacing gasoline as a fuel, even though it can be used to turn over a motor.

sorry I had to do it
