摘      要：There is a previous study motivate us: The effects of technology on individuals. This research investigates in how does transactive memory will be influenced by technology. This study attempted to answer the question: While people are given a forgetting cue(prior to the list of information) which suggests that they will have access through internet later, how will people perform in both condition: with or without forgetting cue? We have tested people in two trails of tests, and used Qualtrics Survey software to construct memory recall test. SPSS 20.0 was used to analysis our data. The result shows that there is significant difference between with or without internet as forget-cue and number recalled items from memory recall test. Our research shows when people believe internet as a reliable external memory storage, people will not attend to the information when receive internet as forgetting cue. which suggests that people need to be more aware, since the decision to use technology as an external memory storage happens mostly when people are not aware of it.
