Hmmm…A Life Recorder?


sensecam Hmmm...A Life Recorder?Well i was reading over at techcrunch about a new idea and item called a Life Recorder. Now as this really is nothing that weird and out of ordinary, the concept is….

Imagine a small device that you wear on a necklace that takes photos every few seconds of whatever is around you, and records sound all day long. It has GPS and the ability to wirelessly upload the data to the cloud, where everything is date/time and geo stamped and the sound files are automatically transcribed and indexed. Photos of people, of course, would be automatically identified and tagged as well.

Imagine an entire lifetime recorded and searchable. Imagine if you could scroll and search through the lives of your ancestors.

Ok now can anyone tell me why in my little fleck of a life i would really want to walk around and record things that truly are boring in the split second i do them. I would hate to relive them everyday when im old and then look back and say damn i did lead a boring life.  Check out the post at techcrunch to find out more information and leave a comment on what you think.
