"It definitely works," Jumbelick said. "I got in the car (a 1993 Saturn) once, and the light was red, and I thought, "Uh-oh, I'd better go make a payment.' "

Good grief.

So what devices does this girl need to be reminded to pay her rent and utility bills.

Will people start needing a small component to wear around their neck that flashes little red lights and makes beeping sounds, to be reminded to change their underware every day too.

A young man of our acquaintance has a really serious learning disability. He can learn, but it takes a long time and constant repetition.

Some of his playmates, including our kids, got him a typing program, and that taught him how to use his keyboard. My eldest and a friend of his "rewrote" an early version of Windows which helped the boy load his videogames, and typing tutor. They called it "fuzzy windows".

He was fed a constant diet of computer based subject matter teaching programs. The computer ran the stuff over and over until he passed.

Few years back the young man got a high school diploma and a job employed using a computer. It's not high tech stuff, but the ability of the computer to repeat, and repeat, and repeat, and repeat, to the point of human exhaustion, cracked the code of his mind and stuffed useful information into it so he was employable.

As opposed to say, hardware, or software ?

Hold on for a tick.

You have to change your underwear?

Don't you just let them rinse clean during the monthly shower?

Whats this "everyday" thing all about? Is this some new rule I didn't get the memo on?

She could have used a device to remind her to use "protection".
