This may be the most coolest thing ever. I mean yeah, its very simplistic, but no one has ever thought of it until now! It is a little camera that is worn around the neck and it takes a picture every thirty seconds, and with the wide-angle lens that the camera has, it basically has the same vision as the person wearing it. This camera was made intentionally for people who had no history or signs of memory loss, but just a "memory aid", but now, it is being clinically made for people with memory loss disease such as dementia.
This would be a great Christmas gift for all of those who are reading this entry! :) If you sorta know me, you'd know what I am talking about and why I chose this medical gadget to talk about, haha!

I think this technology should be paired with some sort of Twitter-like technology where the user constantly comments on what's going on; pictures alone are probably not going to be enough to establish reference for someone who is memory disabled.

Kind of seems more trouble than it's worth. Like, have you ever tried to sift through a chatlog to find something you kind of remember but want the exact wording on? How would you do that on a camera? And for people with serious memory problems, even if they watched it over again how much would it really help? It's a cool idea, but I would be skeptical about how useful it really is.
