Meet Your Future Memory, the Internet

“Everything your brain does with memory, what your brain does when you walk by a building and you have a flashback of another time you were there. We can basically do that [in the app], assuming we have enough data,” says Lee Hoffman, the cofounder of an upcoming app called Memoir. There’s about to be a lot more data. As video-equipped wearable computers such as Google Glass enter the market, theoretically, we can record almost everything we experience. Apps like Memoir, Hoffman envisions, could one day play it back to us on command, leaving us only to fill in the feelings.
