Life logging–there is now a wearable camera that takes pictures from your perspective… Every thirty seconds… And digitally stores and organizes them.
Saga is a ?life logging? app that passively captures data about your activities and presents it in a comprehensible form, with insights and recommendations. The company released an updated version today with social features that let you share this information easily with friends.
The app automatically collects data from the sensors in your phone, as well as through the applications you use, such as Facebook, Twitter, BodyMedia, FourSquare, and Instagram. It maintains a ?life log? with all this information to learn about your habits and preferences and track your behavior over time. Saga builds a complete profile of who you are and uses artificial intelligence technology to make timely suggestions of things you may want or need to do, like visiting a cool bar nearby or making a trip to the grocery store.
“What if you could remember everything? Not just birthdays and photos, but your entire life. Technology is now affordable and powerful enough to make this a reality. This is lifelogging ? using computers to extend your brain and outsource your memory.”

Not to extend your brain but to “jog” it a bit. I’ve always heard that as long as the brain is not physically damaged, everything is there, just needs the “push” to recall it.
Really though, would you want all the personal and intimate moments of your life recorded???!! I guess some might, but I wouldn’t. Somethings are just meant to be shared with close friend or lover. Guess that’s why I still refuse to join Face book.

Seems a bit over done in my opinion but just like everything I think the free market will decide if it’s needed or wanted. I will say that certain things it could be really helpful. I saw a story on a former NFL player who has ALS and was diagnosed shortly after finding out his wife was pregnant. He started making daily videos for his son and continues today even though he is in a wheelchair and controls a keyboard with his eyes. Might be an extreme case but seems like his son would’ve liked to have had some of this info at some point in the future.
I think you are correct TMan. I lost my dad to a plane crash when he was WAY too young to go. (I was 16) But we have a bunch of the old 8MM movies with all the family an him in them. We, on occasion, pull them out just to remember. I’m sure there is a place for this technology.
Imagine if the gov’t got this technology and and what they could do with it… like force you to use it so they could keep the public safer. VMS for persons, I’d call it PMS.
