My Problem Area The problem I would like to work on is the problem of losing things. In a privately conducted study it was found out that in the past 12 months nearly one third of the respondents have lost an item of more than Rs.6000 or more outside the home. Most commonly lost items were sunglasses followed by cell phones at 26% and jewellery at 24%. Almost half of these respondents did not go back to take the item because it was too much of a hassle. Losing things is irritating and yet we are a forgetful people. The average person misplaces up to nine items a day, and one- third of respondents in a poll said they spend an average of 15 minutes each day searching for items—cell phones, keys and paperwork top the list, according to an online survey of 3,000 people published in 2012 by a British insurance company. Stress, fatigue, and multitasking can exacerbate our propensity to make such errors. Such lapses can also be linked to more serious conditions like depression and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorders. I would also like to spread my research in the problem area in such a way that my solution is of benefit to people suffering from early stages of mentally de generative diseases and can also be used by people to stay in track of their pets. As mentioned by you sir I am also researching the various aspects of these problems and also seeing the commercial viability of launching an idea which can help people not lose items dear to them.
