DESCRIPTION:
From Publishers Weekly Starred Review. Bell and Gemmell outline the tests they've run since 2001, scanning and then cataloguing for retrieval a mass of personal data (documents, photographs, books and articles, web pages visited, instant messages, telephone calls) and wearing miniature cameras that sense light shifts and take automatic photographs. . Based upon further development and integration of three already-extant technology streams (digital recording devices, memory storage and search engines), the authors have worked toward this "third step" in the development of human memory for a decade and a half. At Microsoft, computer science pioneer Bell has worked with senior researcher Gemmell for years on a project called True Recall, which will allow people to create a "digital diary or e-memory continuously," something t
Everything he did on his computer was captured. IT WILL CHANGE WHAT IT MEANS TO BE HUMAN. But Bell and Gemmell also show how you can begin to take better advantage of this new technology right now. This experiment, and the system they created to support it, put them at the center of a movement studying the creation and enjoyment of e-memories. IT HAS ALREADY BEGUN. THE TOTAL RECALL REVOLUTION IS INEVITABLE. But the critical technology, and perhaps least understood, is our magical new ability to find the information we want in the mountain of data that is our p

I think in general most people can give you plenty of reasons why you wouldn't want total recall. Bell provides great examples of the benefits and advantages. I think many people will consider this a value proposition even given the potential risks or negatives that may occur. Very happy with the purchase at the very least you should give the sample a try.. Easy read, practical -- insights from early participants Bill y There are many branches of the tree of accelerating technology. Bell and Gemmell's book focuses on the current and future effects of information retention and, more importantly, information retrieval. They range from practical advice -- make scanned bills PDF searchable -- to future scenarios where so much information has been retained that we can "talk" with our long dead great grandparents (via artificial bots made smart by massive knowledge of the subject). The book is somewhat happhazardly organized but I gave it a five star anyway because of t
