You heard it here first. I prolly am giving away a billion dollar idea
here but, hell, money is Pink and so are the things it buys and the
troubles that go along with it. But here it is...

Imagine this device you could clip on to your eyeglasses. It would make
continuous audio and visual recordings of everything you saw or did, 24
hours per day, your whole lifetime!

Yet, as they say in marketing...THAT'S NOT ALL!!!

It would record all these things on a small server so that anyone else
on the net could share your experiences. TELL ME MORE...

It would have an atom synchronized clock and a super duper VOICE
RECOGNITION PROGRAM. As it recorded the sounds around you, it would
build up a database of EVERY WORD UTTERED which http://hyperlinked/ to
the appropriate SHARD OF VIDEO. It would come with a GOOGLE LIKE search
engine, too.

Think of it! Never lose your car keys again! Never miss a sly remark
made to you in a bar! Win EVERY sports bet based upon trivia. No need
to rely on anything so faulty as human memory. Just relegate it all to
this device. Prolly wouldn't be hard to wire in some medical telemetry
to get an idea of how you FELT while the scene was being recorded.

This would put Email mostly out of business. Instead of sitting there
typing "and he goes...and then she goes...and then he goes...", people
interested in what you were doing would just log on and see it all for
themselves. You wouldn't have to write "I was so excited when he...",
people could see your EEG and EKG and it would be self evident.

History would no longer need to be taught. Just review the tapes!

The boss would never ask, "Where the HELL have you been???". It would
all be there, indexed and searchable.

It would blow the PDA business to hell, that's for sure.

this old hick down at the local scrapyard had his Chevy truck wired up like
some McGuyver episode, a multi outlet panel of about 10 12 volt outlets
right in the middle and gigantic switching relays for the auxillary
batteries he had in the camper. wires hanging everywhere, real cool lookin'.
anyway on his dashboard he had made a steel tripod mount so he could take an
8mm camcorder and bolt it up and point it to the front. I asked him what the
hell for and he said "in case something happens I want to get it on tape".
he would leave it on all the way when he drove back to Arkansas and then
show his relatives the films of the trip, in REAL TIME.

I'm surprised the state govt didn't put up one of them IMAX dome
theaters in Little Rock and proclaim it the ARKINSAW EXPERINCE or
something. Guy was just a little before his time!

After I made my post before, I got to thinking about this some more.
One thing, you'd know for SURE if the old lady was REALLY on the rag or
just trying to stretch a light day.
