Perhaps not directly, but it certainly isn’t helping if we’re lazy-brained and stop thinking for ourselves…

Since when has that been the cause of Alzheimer’s?

And what causes Alzheimer’s?

Relying on machines instead of your own increasingly lazy brain.

As Chad mentions above, we are literally enabling alzheimer’s to happen with designs like these that have the best intentions, but make it simply to easy for us.

The brain is like a muscle, if we don’t use it, we lose it.

Thank you Kendra and Chad, for making excellent points.

Now I’m thinking how to embody this design product in terms of technology………………………………………….

[...] Hey, old people have technological needs too. Or so this concept would have us believe. The idea behind this tablet/pda-ish device is that it uses RFID tracking technology toremind the elderly when to take their meds, when food in the refrigerator goes bad, and what to get at the store to meet nutritional requirements. But if my grandparents’ foray into technology is any indication, this device would do nothing but baffle the elderly mind. [Yanko Design] [...]

[...] Htjeli mi to priznati ili ne, ali svi ćemo kad tad, u manjoj ili većoj mjeri, morati ugostiti dr. Altzheimera. Možemo se jednostavno prepustiti njegovom vodstvu ili se pokušati s njime uhvatiti u koštac. Finska Nokia uskoro bi mogla ponuditi svoje riješenje. Industrijski dizajneri Marcela Kawka & Izabela Cichecka izradili su po narudžbi Nokije ‘Health Guard’, napravu koja bi starijim osobama mogla pomoći u svakodnevnim radnjama. Barem što se tiče konzumacije hrane, pića i lijekova. Sastoji se od baze koja se postavlja na bilo koji hladnjak, a koja bilježi vrijeme isteka roka trajanja namirnica, potrošnju istih, vrstu popijenih tableta i slične podatke, sve kako se prijatelji dr. Altzheimera ne bi otrovali te nas preuranjeno napustili. Uređaj sadrži i odvojivi dio koji je moguće sa sobom nositi u dućan te preko RFID čipova identificirati određene namirnice koje se nabavljaju. S ovim gadgetom koji je još uvijek u konceptnoj fazi bi bilo sve u redu da njegova vlasnika upravo nije posjetio dr. Altzheimer, i ne može se sjetiti gdje je ‘Health Guard’ ostavio… Izvor… [...]
