Hmm... this software sounds like a good mental tangent leading to the Apocalypse

I found this info from the "Skynet" of our time, Microsoft, really intriguing.
Called the "My LifeBits Project", Microsoft has been working on software that will capture the media throughout your life - photos, letters, emails, essays, movies, music. Originally an idea from Vannevar Bush, Franklin D. Roosevelt's science advisor, in a 1945 Atlantic Monthly article titled, "As We May Think".

( Bush's article found here: http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/prem/194507/bush)

Somehow this strikes me a bit post-WWII sci-fi, end of the world style, a la "Planet of the Apes". Instead of "The Diary of Anne Frank" as the cultural signpost for the historical apocalypse of our time, it could be "Mr. Whackenbush's CD/DVD chronicling WWIII".

Anyway, give it a looksee. Sorry for the end of the world negativity. The cliched similarities are just a bit too obvious.
