Record Your Life
First we see police using personal-sized videocameras and then we see that such cameras will be able
to record an entire lifetime of video by 2026.

The streets of London just got safer. A team of eight Police officers of the Metropolitan Police, North
London, will be equipped with head-mounted video cameras to help in the fight against anti-social
behavior. They will be on the look out to capture precious evidence against youths causing trouble.
These tiny cameras (the size of an AA battery) will be fitted onto the side of the officers' headgear.
Watch your back mister, cause these cameras record high quality digital images, which are then fed
back and stored in a special utility belt. With recording capacity of twelve hours (the maximum length of
any police officer's shift) each pack costs £1,800.

Computers 'could store entire life by 2026'
By Nic Fleming, Science Correspondent
A device the size of a sugar cube will be able to record and store high resolution video footage of every
second of a human life within two decades, experts said yesterday.
Researchers said governments and societies must urgently debate the implications of the huge
increases in computing power and the growing mass of information being collected on individuals.
Some fear that the advent of "human black boxes" combined with the extension of medical, financial and
other digital records will lead to loss of privacy and a dramatic expansion of the nanny state.
Others highlight positive advances in medicine, education, crime prevention and the way history will be
recorded.
Leading computer scientists, psychologists and neuroscientists gathered to debate these issues at
Memories for Life, a conference held at the British Library yesterday.
Prof Nigel Shadbolt, president of the British Computer Society and professor of artificial intelligence at
the University of Southampton, said: "In 20 years' time it will be possible to record high quality digital
video of an entire lifetime of human memories. It's not a question of whether it will happen; it's already
happening."

As you can see, the technology to record your entire life is coming by 2026. By then, it will be
preferred as a brain implant by many people. No need to carry a still or video camera. You will have
it all stored in your skull. At the rate we are developing connections between the brain and
electronic devices, we will likely be able to recall what was stored in the electronic memory simply
by thinking about it. Just think, humans with perfect recall within seventeen years. Such humans
will make "perfect" witnesses in court.
