Life Recorder

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the just-around-the-bend dept.

Bruce Schneier writes "In 2006, writing about future threats on privacy, I described a life recorder: A 'life recorder' you can wear on your lapel that constantly records is still a few generations off: 200 gigabytes/year for audio and 700 gigabytes/year for video. It'll be sold as a security device, so that no one can attack you without being recorded."

      Exactly what I thought, but TFA suggests/hints at the possibility of the data not being stored locally.

      So not only do you get to have your life recorded, but your life is stored in the cloud! Fantastic isn't it??

    I don't like the privacy concerns if something like that was ever stolen or linked into...

    How about a bicycle-ride recorder, so law enforcement can ticket bike riders for not obeying traffic laws like they are supposed to?
