If I have any young readers, I hope by the time you're old someone will have innovated pillminders away.
Maybe a 3-D printer which can produce any known medicine, with the output passed through a permanently installed port in one's arm, with the timing under control of the embedded personal health minder (the great grandchild of the Apple Watch)?
The older readers will know what inspired this: first you have to take an aspirin a day. Not hard to remember, particularly when one's mind is at 98 percent capacity. Then the doc adds a prescription pill for circulation problems. By the time the third pill is added for blood pressure, one's mind is at 90 percent and going more quickly. So it's time to invest in a pill-minder, perhaps a 7 day jobbie so you only have to fill it once a week.
The next step is a couple more pills, one of which has to be taken twice a day, not once. And now the mind is really losing it.
Maybe what I need is a blogminder--something to remind me what I was writing about when I started the post?
