Abstract

The widespread use of internet nowadays has turned the interdependency of human significantly, this includes to entrust the mobile or digital platform to store simple yet sometimes important information. From the simplest task like checking on the day's date to attending meeting or appointment (which depends on the smartphone's reminder), it is not too much to agree that the internet has shifted the reliance of the society. This trend is termed as 'Digital Amnesia'. In terms of tourism industry and the tourist, researchers are still progressively making further studies. The study of Digital Amnesia and the Future Tourists (2017) done by Greenwood and Quinn under the Journal of Tourism Futures is among the pioneers. They refer Digital Amnesia as a phenomenon or a trend where tourists are likely to use internet to search for travel information as they trust that the internet 'knows everything'. This shows that Digital Amnesia in the environment of tourism is something which will not only be the contemporary trend, but also in the future. Thus it is exciting that more researchers could continuously come out with new findings in the regarding field.
