My grandmother is 85 years old and has had moderate dementia for the past 13 years. We have grown used to her repetitive anecdotes or those moments of cognitive fuzziness that she experiences from time to time, and we just roll with it. But it may seem quite cumbersome for someone to be telling the same story multiple times. Of course, for some, that may be intentional. While others may already be struggling from those same bouts of forgetfulness that we inevitably suffer as we grow older. Oliver Pritchett puts those concerns to rest as he has invented the solution for it: an app called Borenomore. This he shared on The Oldie:
Its database holds hundreds of your best anecdotes. By means of sophisticated voice-recognition technology, each anecdote can be identified by a trigger word or phrase, such as my dear old granny or donkey’s years ago or my headmaster or complete fiasco – and of course a great mate, my first car, a prank, the war and rather a funny thing actually.
