LifeLog

I try not to be paranoid but whoever dreamed up this one scares me.

A Spy Machine of DARPA's Dreams (http://www.wired.com/news/business/0,1367,58909,00.html)

It's a memory aid! A robotic assistant! An epidemic detector! An all-seeing, ultra-intrusive spying program!

The Pentagon is about to embark on a stunningly ambitious research project designed to gather every conceivable bit of information about a person's life, index all the information and make it searchable.

What national security experts and civil libertarians want to know is, why would the Defense Department want to do such a thing?

The embryonic LifeLog program would dump everything an individual does into a giant database: every e-mail sent or received, every picture taken, every Web page surfed, every phone call made, every TV show watched, every magazine read.

...


You're not paranoid if they're REALLY out to get you.

Slashdot has some comments (http://yro.slashdot.org/yro/03/05/20/1654241.shtml?tid=158&tid=185&tid=99) about it.

There's another article at the NY Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2003/05/21/international/worldspecial/21PRIV.html?ex=1054180800&en=ee9720bd15d2add9&ei=5062&partner=GOOGLE) detailing what the guv'mint calls 'Terrorist Information' database.

I can't believe the Feds want to know what I had for breakfast last Tuesday. :confused:

Perhaps they want to know as much about me as the real data-miners - spammers! :rolleyes:

You know in the past I was really concerned about this type of thing, of course I was doing a lot of things that I was not suppose to. Today it just does not seem like a big issue for me. Besides I think the technogly has been in place for a while. If we know about this its outdated already. :)
