Smart Jacket.......

I think a small piece of paper that says "PHONE?" taped to the door probably would cost about 1/10 of a cent and would do the job just as well.

My smart jacket would need a smart jacket
 

Anyone get a drift of technology eating our brains? I saw a study where children played with building blocks on the smart phones but when asked to perform the same tasks with real blocks they were stumped. No exercise has now included the brains as well as the bodies.

I saw the same report....those kids had no idea of how to actually work with the physical toys. I'm afraid that technology is going to create a whole new set of physical and mental issues as time passes. Kids used to spend hours outdoors playing and exercising....now they spend their time playing video games...and the rate of childhood Obesity is climbing substantially. I also wonder about the long term effects on the human brain for those who constantly have their cell phone glued to their ears....this close proximity to RF energy certainly can't be beneficial to the human brain.

Way too often I make a grocery list, place it on the table next to my keys, wallet and phone then leave without it.

I’ve done that
And..... I’ve left my wallet
(Town is fifty miles south)
Found out in the checkout queue with a cart load of groceries
I thought, hmm, maybe I could just smile charmingly and tell them about my money

That didn’t quite work out in my favor

Killed the day driving 200 miles round trip
 
I drove all the way to the gym the other day and forgot my gym bag with all the stuff I needed and there was a snow squal. I love that word. Snow squal. I’m easily amused
My phone wouldn’t have helped one bit
 
It's funny that I am reading this now. My Husband just spent the last half hour looking for his cell phone. I kept calling him from the house phone so we could hear the sound of his ringing. We didn't have any luck. So he said he would go see if he left it in the car. I decided to call it and see if that would help. He came right back in and said he didn't have to check the car. He said when he walked out the door he heard the mailbox ringing. He looked in and there was his phone. When he had come home from the store he brought in the mail and I guess with out realizing it he put his phone in the mailbox. Boy are we getting old.
 
I don't need that, certainly not at a $350 price point!

I wear a bluetooth earbud headset most of the time. This enables me to work hands free, which is helpful because often I have a client on the other end of the phone as I'm working so it's good to be able to multitask that way. I can also listen to books or podcasts while I' working if the work is boring, tedious, mindless. Anyway, if my phone isn't on my person, and I walk too far away from it, I can hear a tone in the earbud the tells me my headset is going to disconnect from the phone. That way I at least know that my phone isn't where I am.

The iPhone also has a couple features that are helpful to me. There is the "find my iPhone" feature, which allows me to see in what geographical location my phone currently is...a helpful tool and one which I put to use recently when I left my phone at the store. I'd been shopping, so it could have been at several stores. I got on my computer and enabled the feature, and it told me that yeah, I'd left it at the Old navy Store a few miles away. The other feature is being able to send a tone alert to my phone from my computer. So if my phone is lost in the house somewhere, even if It's only on vibrate so I won't hear a ring tone, I can send it a message to sound that alert chime, and then I can track it to wherever it is in the house. I've found it between the couch cushions, in the laundry room, on top of the mantel...I'll just randomly, thoughtlessly set it down somewhere, and then have no clue where I'd last used it. Very helpful features!
