I wholly agree with your aspiration - something that I am quite keen on myself.
With this years trend of wearable technology and the near-term release of stick-on body sensors, we are really close to having the sort of hardware technology that enables this. I believe that although recent hardware releases makes great headlines, we are still getting there when it comes to the software; the widespread ability for companies to really address the Big Data problem associated with this level of data collection.
Memoto is one such example of this technology (my only affiliation is that I am a fan who backed them on Kickstarter). Interestingly, and something that will be common to all of these tools, is their ability to turn a blind eye and forget. Turning a blind eye would be the technologies real-time decision that there is no current or future advantage to capture data at that point in time. Forgetting is discarding information after capture, whether it is immediately afterwards, during an archiving process or in the presentation layer when deciding what is useful or not to deliver to the end user.
