In our highly computerized world, we are increasingly dependent on our computers; not just laptops, smart phones and iPads, but all our electronics, cars, appliances—everything.
So much so, that a “memory failure”, “email history missing” or a “blue screen” sends us into panic mode.

Guess what this guy forgot!
