Final Major Project

An unexpected byproduct of the digital age is that it has become harder to forget than to remember. The energy needed to obtain information from either a hard drive or the Internet has diminished to almost nothing. It is less demanding to use a search engine than memorise and retrieve information for ourselves. I intend to design and utilise of a set of contemporary mnemonics to assist memory and recognition for the digital generation.

Age Proof Your Brain

I wanted to see if I could get in contact with Dominic to see whether he would be interested in contributing a short written introduction/provide me with an interview for the book.

However on further investigation I have found in a weeks time Dominic O'Brien is giving a talk on 'Age Proof Your Brain' in London! Rather conveniently on the 26th at some horrifying 'Mind. Body. Spirit. Celebrating our Human Potential' festival. I am going to book a ticket, attempt to contact him and see if I can meet him! It would also be useful to see him explain his theory first hand and whether he has any particularly humorous examples.

Other talks available include 'Saying F**ck. It Really Works.' and 'Just Get on With It'. They all cost so much money for what is probably complete rubbish. Self Help is clearly an area to get into.
