Recording Your World
"GoPro"- name for a camera
Many years ago I wondered what it would be like to record my life. Immediately I concluded that a pair of glasses with tiny cameras mounted on the side would serve the purpose. At that point I knew that all it would take is time for those cameras to come onto the market. As I said this was a thought I had many years ago.
In the mean time I read of a Microsoft scientist who caries around a camera around his neck. The camera with many sensors records his life. Wonderful idea. He can reduce a day into fifteen minutes and review. So if you take 365*.25=91.25 hours to review a year. What would you do with that review?
Google glasses is another version of is idea. It however adds the ability see a computer screen in front of you. So not only do you record your life but you can also surf.
Tonight on 60 minutes I watched a segment on the GoPro cameras and what people are doing with them. There is a whole movement to record cool and crazy things that people are doing. Mostly athletic endeavors but also some silly and fun life happenings. It made the inventor one of the newest billionaires in the USA.
I still believe that what I envisioned is a great idea. Someone will eventually produce it.
Today's question is:
"Would you record your world?"
