It's one of our favorites :)
I don't think it would be so bad to record our lives. We would be more efficient scientists, journalists--explorers of information. We could focus on the here and now instead of taking notes.
I'm pretty sure it requires a whole other level of nostalgia to be immersed and get lost in transcribed texts of the audio of an event.
Not that I'm saying the latter is what the tech will remain like, but at least at first that's what it will probably look like.
