Emergent Technology #2 MonkeyOn

1. Technology Name- Monkey On Your Back

2. Monkey On Your Back is a way to create an online to-do list reminder to other people.  When you use Monkey On Your Back you fill out a "monkey" to-do list for someone else and the "monkey" will be sent to the other person's email to remind them of what they must do.  The "monkey" will be sent to the person once a week until one week before it is due and then the monkey is sent every other day.  If checked properly, Monkey On Your Back is almost a guaranteed way to remember your duties.

3.  When I tried out Monkey On Your Back, I found out how easy it was to use.  All you need to do is fill out a to-do "monkey" and hit send and the reminder is sent to the person.  In order to try this product out, I sent a "monkey" from one of my school email to my personal email.  I received the email which just reminded me that I had a job to do and I have the option to "kill the monkey" if I don't feel like I need any further reminders for that duty.

5.   This product is very easy to use and is FREE as long as you use less than 5 active "monkeys" at a time.  If you are forget easily or someone you are counting on forgets easily, give Monkey On Your Back a try.
