    Lifestreaming
  • Lifecasting is a continual live streaming of events in a person's life through digital media.

  • I like to think of a lifestreaming as today's digital equivalent of Leonardo da Vinci's notebooks [...] da Vinci's recorded notes, drawing, questions and more in his notebooks. Some of these were quite mundane (grocery lists and doodles), others were not. But their body of work was overtime, a view of a one individual's mind. — Steve Rubel, Why Lifestream? To model Leonardo da Vinci diaries.[7]

    Deepinder Goyal on X: "Last one on this topic, and I have been holding this in myself for a while. For centuries, class divides kept the labor of the poor invisible to the rich. Factory workers toiled behind walls, farmers in distant fields, domestic help in backrooms. The wealthy consumed the fruits" / X

  • This future is often difficult to predict because it always disguises itself as the past. Early phone calls were concise like telegrams. Early movies looked like filmed plays. (This is what Marshall McLuhan called "driving to the future via the rearview window.")
