Life-logging
Is this considered self-stalking? Is the assumption that we are not paying enough attention in our lives? I would probably agree to that, and that's why I think this continuous photography idea could be interesting for a day, but to record your whole life this way seems obsessive, and not practical. As we discussed in class, it might be fun to use at a party to catch some candid shots that you might have otherwise missed or forgotten. Maybe it could be passed around between party members to catch more action, but it's pretty much just that, a good party trick. However, in the video that we were watching with James May, it seemed as though it got cut off right before they were going to explain some kind of software that would recognize specific patterns, and potentially (although I may be over-speculating) determine specific traits in a person or use this information to perhaps diagnose someone. I'm not sure what that data could be used for, but until I hear some of the possibilities, I'm not willing to wear this day in and day out.
