A searchable database of all your memories — creepy ? Or a blessing for your shrivel attention span ? Either way , Google hasscored a patentfor just such a gimmick .
To be clear , this does n’t have anything to do with your brainiac . We ’re not talking about an embedded chip literally lay in your memories , as depicted in the fantastic dystopian sci - fi serial Black Mirror . The patent ’s for a digital photographic camera that ’d record the audio frequency and video of your liveliness in tangible - time , thenstores those clipsfor after reminiscing or communion .
It ’s described as a “ wearable computer science machine , ” so presumptively something along the bloodline of a mountable for the poorly - fated Google Glass .
“ Memory ” search are activate by enquiry like “ What was the playlist of songs at the party last night ? ” or “ What were the painting I saw when I was on vacation in Paris ? ” Perfect for people like me , who are totally oblivious to their environment , though it could promptly spiral into a bootleg hole of paranoia and stalking — the software also says that substance abuser could make their “ memory ” searchable across societal networking sites .
The software was filed over three years ago , in June 2012 , and was just approve by the US Patent and Trademark Office on Tuesday .
