For instance, when we become forgetful, we can use the reminder function to compensate for short term memory loss. From a technological standpoint this can be extremely useful.
Point taken. Here's a nice fact about 66-year-old Gilbakka. Despite a serious stroke 5 years ago and limited mobility up to now, my brain/memory remains excellent. I know by heart my 2 debit cards and two credit cards numbers, my 14-digit library card number etc. On top of that, despite leaving Guyana 21 years ago I remember my national ID number and my NIS number. Numbers aside, I can recall family/personal events from way back in 1954 when I was 3 years old. Also, I remember when my parents took me and my little sisters to Erlo Cinema at Uitvlugt Front in 1958 to see an Indian movie, "Amardeep", with the comedian Johnny Walker playing a role. It was the first movie I watched. Thank God I don't need a phone's reminder function yet.
