All right All right!!!...I admit! I am forgetful. I am also very technically challenged. My knowledge of technology does not extend to a wide realm. But hey, I have a claim to expertise in burning CDs on the computer; I am really good at that. You see, I’m a behavioral knowledge expert and I make presentations in various institutions.
This required me to buy a laptop, which I duly bought. So far so good. I loved my laptop, made my job simpler. I could carry it with me everywhere. But hey, I tend to be late sometimes and being late meant I rushed out of the home without my laptop. This caused a lot of embarrassment and not to mention some ire from the organizers. I was suitably mortified and tried to work around my forgetfulness.
This is when I discovered the convenience of CDs. I used to make my presentations and save them on my system and copied the same on to a CD and put it in my bag the same day. This way I ensured that I had a copy of my presentation if I happened to forget my laptop. So problem solved, or so I thought. One day I took a wrong presentation to a very important college I was speaking at. Mortification again. I was saved that day purely because the event was postponed and I made a friend of mine rush to the venue with the laptop and the correct CD. My forgetfulness was a bane and I was seriously considering therapy when the friend of mine suggested a solution.
After seeing me struggle with my forgetfulness and my attempts at working around it, she suggested a device called I-Flapp. She said it’ll help me carry my desktop anywhere instead of me burning all those cds. It was small and it could be plugged into any system she said. I was skeptical, if it was small, it was more likely that I would forget to carry it. She told me to put it on a keychain with the car keys. She insisted that it was worth buying. I went and bought it and now I am so glad that I did.
It is really simple to use. Even I could figure out how to use it. I bought the I-Flapp with the application in it. I just needed to launch the application after I finished working on my system. The next time I carried it to a presentation. I plugged it in and voila! I could access my work which I did on my laptop at home. Actually I could access my desktop with all my files in it. This included not just my presentations but also my music and my research files and my messenger. I could also access my Outlook. I was thrilled. It also saved changes made while I was working away on a different system, I could incorporate the same into my laptop later. It also has a safe removal feature which removes all the traces of your work from the host computer, so there is no fear of leaving work behind.
I am very happy that I started using it, I am now not so technically challenged as before if I may say so for myself. And oh yes, did I forget to say that it took care of my forgetfulness?

That is a good one. I completely relate to it. I have a nasty habit of forgetting things too. Being technically challenged does not help my cause either. I did go and take a look at I Flapp website and being an interior designer, I thought this will be really helpful to me. I think I will get myself one
