Would it be essential to infuse a system of reminders into infrastructure? I contemplate where those with special needs are a vibrant part of society, whether prompts and highlight could be a consistent and tactful component.
A person prone to forgetfulness, walking down a pathway may need a guide towards a main hub; same for staff who may tend to forget a policy in a week, and may need daily briefings of expectations. The implication is huge, especially if a huge sector is affected. This is the goal for a march towards constant improvisation and efficiency. The human tendency could be framed as individually driven and could bother on complacency, but also with age and a weakening of the capacity for articulation, perhaps, the need for more ready stimulation and support.
Could media outlets play a role? Could better use of sound systems at train and bus stations – at public spots help? How about brief notices on decorum and civic responsibilities? How about shaping an empathetic society by showing how people work together, and cope by being more tolerant? Isn’t this what celebratory days are meant to achieve?- a somewhat of a recalibration to remind ourselves of expectations.
Prospects are intriguing- of tech working seamlessly with environment, but it has to be built on algorithms that promotes goodwill. There is no point writing codes that sniffs negativity and faulty values. We may need to explore first, by finding who specifically wrote it. A chance to explain and guide is always very refreshing. Researchers might want to explore funding for the long term with implications on reducing criminality. Again, a discussion that remains to be had, is whether with tragic penury, strategic instructional and momentary briefs has a limited role- no doubt this remains a complex revision-able area.
“Hey, its a beautiful day. Remember to pay your taxes, and stay to the left of the road.”
