Memory Booster !
Something weird happened to me in last 2-3 days several time. Every time I woke up, I couldn’t recall where I was and what time it was for a few seconds. First I thought that I’m in my own room in my father’s house in Tehran. Then I remembered that I’m not living with my parents anymore and I’m married! Then I couldn’t say if I was in our apartment in Tehran or Sydney or in a hotel room in … anywhere! Finally I remembered that we are in Milan. Then I had a battle with my memory to find out if it is night or day time. Anyway, it happened 3-4 times and … I didn’t like it at all.
Today I remembered what I read in Designboom’s interviews with Zaha Hadid and Karim Rashid and some other designers. All of them say they travel a lot. Something just clicked in my mind. I guess this memory-kind-of confusion happens to everyone once in a while but those people who travel a lot experience it more. Can it be a “need” for an idea? Can we design a product or just another option for our gadgets to show or announce the place, time, date and day? It can be useful. Sometimes when you travel long distances, time difference can make you confused about the date and day as well. Just imagine a CEO of a multinational company that has to travel between Europe to Far East, Australia and USA every week. Just imagine how this little product or additional optional can be useful for him. Do you Remember Memento?
