IBM Backs up Human Memory

Interesting idea…but the day to day practicality seems far off. It basically would require you to enter information constantly…similar to recording into a microcassette when dictating. We, on the other hand, are short-term memory challenged.

I worked with someone at Seagate doing something very similar. The project was called “Logged Life”. Logistically he ran into the same practicality issues with it, and that lead to it being scrapped by the higher-ups. My Blackberry is good enough! Anything more almost too bigger-brother esque.
