Historically, humankind has sent only one thing to the moon at a time so that it has the whole metaphorical highway to itself. But NASA’s planned moon base is expected to have a lot more concurrent traffic in the future, which means it’s time to start writing rules for a busier road. Engineers from Texas…

Screenshots may hurt your memory: Research found people remembered less about information they captured than information they simply viewed.
Dont just screenshot and forget: If something matters, summarize it, save it somewhere useful, or revisit it later.
Turn screenshots into action: Move appointments to your calendar, recipes to a saved folderm, and important reminders to a place youll actually check.
See a restaurant you want to try? Screenshot it. An important confirmation number? Screenshot. A recipe, gift idea, or interesting article? You know the drill.
But that convenient little habit may come with an unexpected downside.
A new study from researchers at Binghamton University found that people consistently remembered less about information they screenshotted than information they simply viewed. The research, recently highlighted by StudyFinds, involved seven experiments and 892 undergraduate students.
In one experiment, recognition of screenshotted images dropped below 60%, despite participants viewing a relatively small number of images.
Researchers call the phenomenon "digital amnesia."
So should you stop taking screenshots?
Not necessarily. The more useful lesson may be to stop treating the screenshot itself as the final step.
If it's important, do something with it
Researchers aren't certain why screenshotting appears to interfere with memory.
One possibility is cognitive offloading: Once your brain knows the information has been safely stored somewhere else, it may decide it doesn't need to work as hard to remember it.
Another possibility is that taking the screenshot causes you to mentally disengage from what you're looking at.
So give your brain another job.
After taking an important screenshot, spend a few seconds summarizing what you just saved. Instead of simply capturing a restaurant recommendation, for example, tell yourself: "That's the Italian restaurant Sarah recommended in Sacramento." That forces you to actually process the information instead of immediately swiping away.
Pro tip: If something really matters, write a quick note about it. The goal isn't merely to store the information it's to interact with it.
Don't let your camera roll become a junk drawer
Think about how many screenshots are currently sitting on your phone. Now think about how many you've actually looked at twice.
