Sign of the times
That is why I am hopeful about cognitive orthotics, the hand-held gadgets and apps that will remind us to water our plants, shut off our stoves, and guide us home when we get lost in our planned communities.
A new Android app, Tell My Geo, is a fresh entry in this emerging category of tools, which (and I find this a bit troubling) ask us to swap privacy for freedom. The app combines the functions of a medical alert bracelet with those of a personal navigator and can help folks experiencing “senior moments’’ get back on course.
