What do you think he means by "20 years of keystroke data"?
What do you think he means by "20 years of keystroke data"?
From the 12 December 2009 issue of New Scientist:
"I'm an information pack rat," he [Stephen Wolfram] confesses. Recording our interview is just the tip of his peculiar obsession with documenting every moment of his life. "I have a keystroke logger that has collected my every keystroke for the last 22 years," he says. "Every day I get an email that tells me how many keystrokes I typed the previous day into each application. I find it slightly interesting." He shrugs off my suggestion that it's a way of securing his immortality; he believes that soon everyone will be doing it.
Which, if any historians become fascinated with Wolfram, would be an amazing boon.
