MyLifeBits
MyLifeBits is a system that allows you to store events of your life on your PC so that you can always re-view what you once saw, or show it to friends and family. [one]
The project is the embodiment of the hypothetical Memex Vanivar Bush computer system. The project includes full-text search, text and sound annotations, hyperlinks. The MyLifeBits project consists of two parts: an experiment in a lifelong information repository and a software research.
Experimental
During the MyLifeBits experiment , all electronic interactions of an individual person (phone calls, email, documents) are stored electronically. The data collected includes minute-by-minute photographs. [2]
The experimental side of the project was Gordon Bell. He captured for life articles, books, postcards, CDs, letters, notes, documents, photographs, presentations, home movies, videos, voice recordings and stored them digitally. He wanted to keep digitally telephone calls, television and radio. [3]
Software Research
Jim Gemmell and Roger Lueder have developed MyLifeBits software, which is used by SQL Server to support: hyperlinks, annotations, reports, saved queries, and quick searches. MyLifeBits is designed to simplify annotation (voice annotation and integration with a web browser). The project includes tools for recording web pages, radio and television.
