More on technology, this time with favour

"It's my memory. I call it my other brain," said Ms. Walmsley. "It's not a cool gadget. It's my lifeline."

So says a diagnosed amnesia sufferer, referencing her smartphone.

While many of us here at the Lair don't suffer from amnesia (well, let's just say we've not been diagnosed), I think we can identify with that. In fact, I remember a contributor of many a fine morsel at the Lair stating boldly in reference to one such device/program: "It basically runs my life."

I have to say that, as a late adopter, and as one who suffers from amnesia of a certain variety (My beloved prefers to call it squirrel syndrome), such little devices have dramatically improved my life. I'm serious. If I had a blackberry with outlook earlier in my life, I would have avoided much heartache. I'm assuming a hearty "hear hear" from the readers here familiar with my past ways.

Does anyone at the Lair have any examples of technology that has significantly improved their lives?
