A Microsoft Research project called MyLifeBits provides clues about where this approach is headed. Jim Gemmell is one of the media-management experts working on MyLifeBits, a project that looks forward to a time when people record just about everything that happens to them via wearable videocams and other sensors. "When you return from a vacation, the system will make a travelog for you," Gemmell says. "It'll make maps of where you went and pick out nice, clear photos. Then you'll hit the button and they'll go straight to your blog, or your grandma." This world might not be as far off as it seems. "The Longhorn team wants to make sure something like MyLifeBits can be enabled by the next version of Windows," Gemmell says.
