It probably wasn't such a big deal back then. Before telecommunications, widespread literacy and post-it notes people had far better memories, just out of necessity. Think about all the long and complex mythologies, stories and songs that were propogated for genrations by illitrate people by word of mouth.

Think about your average soap actor, commiting hundreds of lines of drivel to mmory every week...
