I&#x27;ve been recording everything I say and hear for the past 5 years, with the idea that eventually I&#x27;d be able to transcribe it and run all sorts of amazing analysis and insights on the data. Thought, learning and vocabulary evolution. AI replicas. Digital immortality.<p>Everyone is walking around with a microphone and camera in their pockets. Recording video of people is still too visibly creepy (until we have cameras hidden in RayBan-style sunnies), but recording audio from your pocket is something you can do without causing a shitstorm around you (*yes, legally you should tell people you&#x27;re recording them).<p>So we launched a startup a few years ago called Lifebox: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;lifeboxapp.com" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;lifeboxapp.com</a>, but even now it&#x27;s still too ahead of its time. Obtaining funding was impossible. Once we move past this era of privacy concerns into a sousveillance culture, it&#x27;s inevitable that everyone will want to record and stream their lives 24&#x2F;7.
