The MyLifeBits Lifetime Store

ACM SIGMM 2003 Workshop on Experiential Telepresence (ETP 2003) |

Storage trends have brought us to the point where it is affordable to keep a complete digital record of one’s life, and capture methods are multiplying. To experiment with a lifetime store, we are digitizing everything possible from Gordon Bell’s life. The MyLifeBits system is designed to store and manage a lifetime’s worth of data. MyLifeBits enables the capture of web pages, telephone, radio and television. This demonstration highlights the application of typed links and database features to make a lifetime store something that is truly useful.
