"I'm always aware of what I'm talking about and who I'm with in the moment," Dixon says. "I just don't know what happened yesterday or the day before. My declarative episodic memory is shot."
Since the accident, Dixon has relied heavily on hissmartphone to augment the part of his brain that is no longer functioning properly. He uses Twitter throughout the day to make note of the details he isn't likely to remember tomorrow: What he was reading about, what kind of coffee he ordered, who he spoke to. Even the details of his sex life, which he tweets about in Korean to avoid embarrassing over-the-shoulder moments. All of this goes into his private Twitter account, which he can later refer to, search, and analyze.
