Total Recall: How the E-Memory Revolution Will Change Everything

Gordon Bell; Jim Gemmell

About the Program

Gordon Bell and Jim Gemmell talk about the creation of e-memories (electronic memories) and what this means for our future.  The authors, who have been experimenting with e-memories since 1998, say that in the near future we will be able to digitally preserve all of our experiences and recall them whenever we want.  They spoke at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California.
