Software Backs Up Human Memory

CWmike writes "Ever try to remember who you bumped into at the store a few days back? Well, you're not alone. And IBM researchers are working on software that just may help you better recollect all the forgotten pieces of your life. This week, the company unveiled Pensieve, software that stores images, sounds, and text on everyday mobile devices, then allows the user extract them later on, to help them recall names, faces, conversations and events. IBM's project is akin to one that Gordon Bell and other scientists at Microsoft Research have been working on for the past nine years."

Lister: Lemon juice? (holds up canister)
Cat: What the hell is that?
Lister: It's a syringe.
Cat: What kind of syringe?
Lister: It's for cows -- artificial insemination.
