I have inveighed against the tendency to clip the USA's Defence Advanced Projects Agency in previous comments to this blog, and here we have another example. A DARPA project known as LifeLog, which intended to build a database tracking someone's entire existence, has been cancelled [for no apparent reason, although civil libertarians were up in arms about it].
The concept of a prosthetic memory in the face of the data glut which inundates us today would seem very worth investigating, and even if it did have the negative implications its opponents averred, ignorance is not the solution to this problem. The loss of nerve this seems to betoken in an organization which can only succeed by implementing daring decision is itself dauntingly disquieting.
