"A device the size of a sugar cube will be able to record and store high resolution video footage of every second of a human life within two decades, experts said yesterday."

Andy Graham December 13th, 2006 07:33 PM

On the one hand you’re privacy will literally disappear into thin air but on the other hand crime would dramatically decrees.

For personal use, this type of technology can come in handy once you reach old age. If you’re having trouble remembering your past, all you have to do is hit rewind and play on your computer. Better yet, the image will probably pop up in you brain, so all you would have to do is carry a remote control in your pocket.

Think about the hacking possibilities, though.

Wasn't there a movie that explored this whole concept? [EDIT: Nevermind, I realized I was probably thinking of Minority Report.]

Hey, thanks! Looking at the description I realize I did hear about that film. I saw the trailer but never watched the movie. Somehow I forgot about it and ended up thinking of a scene from Minority Report.

This is bad. I'm too young to be having these kind of memory lapses. ;-)

I need one of those memory implants. :-0

Gary Chavez December 21st, 2006 03:32 PM

Who is gonna do all that shooting?

Paulo Teixeira December 21st, 2006 04:35 PM

Gary Chavez,
It’s basically a video camera attached to you that records everything you do from the minute you’re born until you die.

Jim Michael December 26th, 2006 09:32 PM

For some folks 64k should be plenty.

And for most, 95% of it would be on the electronic floor.

Tim OBrien January 2nd, 2007 10:15 AM

Who would want to store (or sit through) the 98% of life that is boring mundane and/or embarassing for the 2% or less that might be interesting?

And since the post-MTV-generation has the attention span of a gnat, who would care????
