In the age of the smartphone, there is very little need for people to learn each other’s phone numbers. While the benefits of this are clear, there is one troubling consequence — many children don’t know their parent’s numbers off by heart in an emergency situation. Now, Missing Children Europe has created Remumber, a simple app that changes a child’s lock screen pass code to their parent’s number to help them to memorize it.
