Interesting - I don't know if it would work, but I'd like to hear about somebody who tried it.

Maybe a less invasive one would be a software that just shows a description of the current program the user is running - if he's on the web, the top-level domain, and if not, the name of the document he's reading/working on (Or more likely, the name of the application and the contents of it's title bar, anything deeper than that probably needs a lot more special coding).

This exists. I tried it for a while, but my life doesn't revolve around computer use enough for it to be especially interesting for me. For someone who spends most of their productive time at a computer, it might well help.
