Yeah, definitely depends on definition. If you mean publishing/broadcasting, then sure. That can and should be something you curate and choose what things you want to share about yourself rather than an all-or-nothing situation.
But there's the possibility of using it as a sort of glorified journal as well. As someone already mentioned that Black Mirror episode where this is explored along with the pitfalls of living in the past or constant second-guessing I'll skip that angle.
Still, in a more positive light, using tech to automatically journal some things (places you've been, time spent doing various activities, things you've seen, etc) at least has the potential to benefit. Maybe it's something as simple as trying to remember a place your visited or maybe it's a real eye-opener when you see just how much time you spend sitting in traffic. Either way, there are definitely some potential uses that go beyond the "liveblog/broadcast every second of your life" thing.
