Imagine someone recording, transcribing, and searchable indexing every phone call you have ever made or setting up a microphone for every conversation you have.

Imagine someone recording, transcribing, and searchable indexing every phone call you have ever made or setting up a microphone for every conversation you have. I don’t think that is healthy and that is what text messaging is now. It’s more like a legal deposition.
- EvanAnderson 5y agoThat sounds lovely. A recorded, transcribed, indexed version of my life (something like MyLifeBits[0], I suppose) would be a glorious addition to my biological memory. If I could be assured of privacy in the recordings (which I think isn't achievable today) I'd jump at the chance. I don't think I have a particularly bad memory, but it's not exceptional and won't be getting better as I get older. The idea of enhanced recall is very exciting to me. I wish the technology was something available to everybody should they choose to partake. Society would have to adapt. What is human history, though, if not a narrative about society adapting to technological change? [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MyLifeBits https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MyLifeBits
