Senior tools

My brother-in-law and my sister were having a drink in their living room.  He got a good idea about senior marketing and he told her.  It was a good idea and quite funny and they had a good laugh about it.  Now, neither of them can remember what the idea was. 

We have similar things happen here in our house.  So, the time has come.  We are installing high level security cameras all over, so that one machine or another can record our images and our voices all the time.  No more going down to the basement only to arrive having no memory of what we were after when we started.  Some of our smart young programmer friends are hard at work developing computer code that will assist us in rapid search for particular spoken words and one of us moving in a given direction.  We want to be able to quickly rewind the video to a point we can hear what we said and see what we were doing.

We realize that the term 'security camera' is often associated with crime prevention and law enforcement.  However, we find that a great many more moments of pain, frustration and deep chagrin come into our lives from other sources than bad guys.  A little technical and private assistance in recalling what we were recently about would be very welcome if it were discreet and within our budget.

These so-called 'senior' moments are getting to be a bother and we are confident that American ingenuity and Asian manufacturing skill can produce senior assistive technology on a par with the growing set of tools that assist younger people.  We will be publishing information on when and where we will accept proposals and design sketches soon.  Those interested in getting in on what is sure to be the next big thing should begin now converting various funds into transferable form.  We are considering accepting initial funds of $50,000 dollars in any currency.
