Re: An actual usefull scenario...
I'm not sure why you got a downvote. All I can hope is that the person/bot that did that does not get old.
My 95 year old Mother had one of these systems and it worked. The people on the other end of the phone did not mind the odd false alarm. You actually gave them one every month when you tested the system.
These things allow people who should otherwise be in ca care home to live independantly.
My Mum got one of these (you have to pay a rental fee btw) about 10 years ago after she had her second knee replaced. That meant that she could not kneel and if she fell over, she could not get up again without help.
She's now in a care home and will celebrate her 96th next week. I am firmly of the opinion that these things work and there is no need to complicate it with any more technology. They can't be hacked either.
