[The Guardian](http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/story/0,3605,1674359,00.html?ref=protein.xyz) reports that Microsoft scientists have put together a package of technologies that will allow you to trace everything you do and everywhere you go, it's all a bit 1984\. Gordon Bell doesn't need to remember, but has no chance of forgetting. At the age of 71, he is recording as much of his life as modern technology will allow, storing it all on a vast database: a digital facsimile of a life lived. If he goes for a walk, a miniature camera that dangles from his neck snaps pictures every minute or so, immediately committing the scene to a memory built not of neurons but ones and noughts. If he wanders into a cafe, sensors note the change in light, the shift of temperature and squirrel the information away. Conversations are recorded and steps logged thanks to a GPS receiver carried with him.
