问题 [A] But work is underway to get computers to capture human life and remember it as people do—recalling bits of experience that are linked by a common time or place or person. Experts of Microsoft Recearch show deep interest in this challenging subject.
[B] Microsoft plans to weave the computer-based portions of the My Life Bits project into a software product, possibly as early as 2008. It will be in the operating system, gathering data as you work.
[C] You’re at a black-tie party where you spot an acquaintance whose name and business are right on the tip of your tongue—but not tripping off it. Who is he? When did you last speak with him? He’s headed your way. Luckily, your memory prosthesis—a computer that monitors and remembers everything you do or experience—is ready to whisper his name in your ear.
[D] But after three years of digitizing Bell’s life, the research team realized they were creating an unwieldy " wrie-once-read-never" database. So they began writing software to mimic the way the human mind recalls things. People recall information in part by remembering where they were, what else was happening, and whom they were with. Now the system can play back a phone conversation while simultaneously displaying any Web pages Bell was viewing at that time plus E-mails and documents relevant to the conversation.
[E] Eventually, people will use this "add-on personal memory" during their daily lives. Such a database could be used to refresh a failing memory, or educate future generations about what today’s lives were like.
[F] Compute expert Gordon Bell of Microsoft Research stockpiled all the printed and digital detritus of his 68 years of life. With the help of his partner Jim Gemmell, Bell scanned old papers and photographs as well as books he had read. They also wrote software to capture a copy of every message and document that crossed his computer screen and every voice mail he received, and they recently began recording all of Bell’s phone calls and any television he watches. Now he’s developing tools to turn this computerized shoebox into a memory aid.
[G] And the Pentagon’s Lifelog project would pick up from Bell’s research. Scientists want to combine sensors, cameras, bugging devices, and wearable computers to capture a comprehensive, searchable database of an individual human life. The project is aiming for portable sensors that would record daily life in exhaustive details and data processors that would search for patterns and sift for information likely to prove useful later on. A practical, powerful, consumer version could be decades off.
