Pioneering The Brave New World Of Constant Recording

 

The Overly Documented Life   

By A.J. Jacobs

"My brain is now wired to cameras and monitors of every kind. My limited attention span, laughable subjectivity, and weak memory have been replaced by eyes that see everything and hard drives that never forget. Fun. "

"...You've heard of Google Goggles? In 2013, Google plans to release Internet-enabled glasses that, the company boasts, have the capacity to display data on the lenses and also to record every moment (including, presumably, those moments when you get beat up for wearing Internet-enabled goggles). Very spooky. But then Bell and a handful of followers have already been doing that for years."
