When human beings roamed the savannas, the thing that mattered most for survival was the present moment. Over time, we’ve become more and more interested in the past and obsessed with the future. The result is the desire to document the past in hopes of having a better informed future. Some keep a journal, history books aim to capture societies’ mistakes and doctors keep a chart of every condition you have ever had. But in today’s world, massive amounts of personal information get recorded in our digital lives, and most of it is dropped on the floor, or worse, stored by someone else. What if you could store this information yourself and harness it into something personally valuable to you? A way to help you make better decisions. Come contribute to an interactive conversation about the idea of digitally logging your life in a system that aids everything from the discovery of films to the distribution food.
This interactive event will be co-hosted by The Electric Sheep Company, with ESC’s Futurist in Residence Jerry Paffendorf and technology journalist and blogger Mark Wallace.
