18. âA memex is a device in which an individual stores all his books,
records, and communications, and which is mechanized so that
it may be consulted with exceeding speed and flexibility. It is an
enlarged intimate supplement to his memory.â
Vannevar Bush in âAs You May Thinkâ
20. "A SenseCam is a black box
about the size of a
cigarette pack which
contains an infrared
system [..] and when it
finds a person it takes a
picture. It also takes a
photograph when the light
changes or at intervals up
to a minute, depending on
how it is set."
Gordon Bell

22. âOne day Iâm sure everyone will
routinely collect all sorts of data
about themselves. But because
Iâve been interested in data for a
very long time, I started doing
this long ago.â
Stephen Wolfram
33. âI'd like to think that Timeline
succeeds at representing your
history in a way that mirrors
personal memory. The most
recent section are your freshest
memories and are all apparent.
As you travel back in time the
years become abbreviated and
only the highlights are initially
visible.â
Nicholas Felton
34.
35. You are also being âmeasuredâ
without you noticing
36.
37. The costs of self-tracking will
be so low that not measuring
yourself contineously will be
considered âirresponsibleâ
49. Yes, I am not afraid to put
forward the idea of a
personalised computer-
based tutor
50. âImagine that this tutor
program can get to know
you over a long period of
time. Like a good
teacher, it knows what
s
you already understand
and what you are ready
to learn. It also knows
what types of
explanations are most
meaningful to you.â
Danny Hillis over âAristotleâ
51. Will you be more daring?
Insight in your own lack of change and
habits as a catalyst for change
60. Insight into your use of time
What percentage of my time have I been doing email,
sitting in meetings, talking at the water cooler or
networking on LinkedIn?
63. âPeople argue about the need to forget
things, but if you look at business
disciplineâadvising that you write
everything down, your goals and
objectives, and return to them to see
how you did, examining what went
wrongâI think the same thing could
happen with our personal lives. Being
able to say, âNow I realize my tone of
voice was threateningââI think thereâs a
real positive aspect in having the real
record of what things looked and
sounded like, and sequences of events,
because we often end up believing things
that are not based on facts anymore.â
Jim Gemmel
69. âOne can easily imagine submitting
their usernames for Google Web
History, Facebook, Twitter, Delicious,
Blogs, Google Reader, YouTube, etc.
IN PLACE OF taking a four hour high
stakes exam like the ACT or GRE. Why
make a high stakes decision based on
a few hundred data points generated
in one morning (when you could be
sick, distracted, etc.) when you could
get 1,000,000 data points generated
over three years?â
David Wiley
72. Can we still re-invent ourselves
if we never forget anything?
73. â[..] Forgetting is not an
annoying flaw but a life-saving
advantage. As we forget, we
regain the freedom to
generalize, conceptualize, and
most importantly to act.â
Viktor Mayer-SchĂśnberger in âDeleteâ
74. z
A world constructed from the familiar is a world in
which thereâs nothing to learn ... (since there is)
invisible autopropaganda, indoctrinating us with
our own ideas.
Eli Pariser
79. âPeopleâs freedom to innovate technologically is
highly valuable, even critical, to humanity. This
implies a range of responsibilities for those
considering whether and how to develop, deploy, or
restrict new technologies. [..] Give a high priority to
peopleâs freedom to learn, innovate, and advance.â
