Memory Problems (And I Don't Mean RAM!)

Perhaps you know someone that has a few problems like the ones Tom Rush describes in this cute little tune.



I show this video on the first day of class. It serves as a great conversation starter because it is always easy to get students talking about themselves (see questions below).

Discussion Questions for Students:
1) What devices and software do you use to keep track of events happening in your personal life?
2) What suggestions would you have for the poor fellow in this video to help him start remembering the important events in his life?
3) Have you ever instructed a parent (or grandparent) on how to use some type of technology? Were there any challenging issues you encountered during this "training"?
