We all just know that this will be technically feasible in our lifetime. The challenges, as you pointed out: if it's not searchable, then we'd have to spend a second life browsing through our first. Then there are some privacy issues, which will probably be ignored in practice, if past history is any guide. But it has some very interesting consequences on human interaction.

if it's not searchable, then we'd have to spend a second life browsing through our first. Just having the "faces" technology from iPhoto '09 would go a long way towards organizing this record. Have a WiFi enabled device that uses Bonjour to auto-upload when you are at home, and iPhoto can go and index the visual record based on who. There can also be an "auto-event" splitting based on dramatic changes in lighting. GPS could also be used. An interval where a person is moving across the city would constitute one event, and the interval where they are at one location would constitute another. GPS could also auto-assign names to events, like "Minneapolis Convention Center, October 16, 2009 2:30pm."
