Background Bell, C. G., & Gemmell, J. (2009). Total recall : how the E-memory revolution will change everything. New York: Dutton. • “Lifeloggers typically wear computers in order to capture their entire lives, or large portions of their lives” wikipedia

(2005). Lifeblog: a new concept in mobile learning? Paper presented at the Wireless and Mobile Technologies in Education. WMTE 2005. IEEE International Workshop on.
A critique of lifelogging • Beyond Total Capture: A Constructive Critique of Lifelogging Sellen, A., & Whittaker, S. (2010). Beyond total capture: a constructive critique of lifelogging. Communications of the ACM, 53(5), 70-77. • Selectivity, not total capture • Cues not capture • Memory refers to a complex, multi-faceted set of concepts • Synergy not substitution Related reference.

Our digital past • It seems inevitable more of our everyday lives will be captured digitally • The end of the ephemeral Harper, R. Rodden, T., Rogers, Y., Sellen, A. (editors), 2008. Being human: Human–computer interaction in the year 2020. Cambridge: Microsoft Research
Designing for deletion • How to better design for deletion in technology that stores personal digital content? • Think Email – does anyone have a good email storage/deletion system? • Think Facebook – What should happen to mundane, day to day stuff well into future? Inappropriate or incorrect comments relating to you, regretful photos, how do you delete a friend?
Designing for deletion • Abundant storage • Accumulate • Limited storage • Active storage/deletion Stored Deleted Stored
Demotion • GrayArea • Bergman, O., Tucker, S., Beyth-Marom, R., Cutrell, E., & Whittaker, S. (2009). It's not that important: demoting personal information of low subjective importance using GrayArea. Paper presented at the Proceedings of ACM CHI 2009 Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems.

Question for you • How should I best spend my time prior to collecting data, as the topic is still being formulated? • Especially given we typically apply grounded theory • Is meeting people and reading relevant literature enough?
