Comment phone number 7bit 8bit digit theory (Score 2, Insightful) 189
Based on what findings is it stated that most people can only hold 7 digits in memory?
I wonder if there is a connection to how many digit you need to make a local phone call.
In the states I assume you can or could leave out the area code, and then needed to remember xxx-xxxx.
In Denmark as a kid and now, we need to remember 8 digits to make a phone call.
I see a correlation, but.. heck, digits for thoughts.
