Experimental Microsoft gadget keeps record of your life

REDMOND, Wash. Ñ SenseCam, touted as a visual diary of sorts by Microsoft, is designed to be worn around the neck and take up to 2,000 images a 12-hour day automatically.

The prototype responds to changes such as bright lights and sudden movements and might one day even respond to other stimuli such as heart rate or skin temperature Ñ to track medical problems as easily as to record a Hawaiian vacation. And it could eventually link with other technology, such as face recognition to remind wearers when they've seen someone before.

As Lyndsay Williams trudged along snow-covered paths and passed by shop windows one recent day in Cambridge, England, so too did her SenseCam Ñ automatically snapping hundreds of photos along the way.

Later that day, Williams could have used those pictures to figure out where she'd left her car keys, or to show a friend the sweater she saw in a window.

5. Perhaps Microsoft can come up with something to wipe our
asses for us and shovel food into our faces at regular intervals. Then we can just get lobotomized and be happy.
