The time is not far away when you will be able to digitally capture your entire life ? every sound, sight, phone call, everything you do–on your computer and put it all on a database the size of a matchbox for easy retrieval. Steven Cherry of Spectrum Magazine reports on Microsoft’s MYLIFEBITS project.
