Friday 21 September is World Alzheimer’s Day. This year, Alzheimer’s Disease International
is inviting people to ‘donate their Facebook timeline’.

To do so they download a free app, and this will then appear to delete their Facebook
Timeline. This is designed to educate the public as to how it feels to lose your
memories, just for one day.

No data is of course deleted, and the Timeline returns to normal the next day.
