Full-Text article, The MyLifeBits Lifetime Story
From the MLB home page, “MyLifeBits is a lifetime store of everything. It is the fulfillment of Vannevar Bush’s 1945 Memex vision including full-text search, text & audio annotations, and hyperlinks. There are two parts to MyLifeBits: an experiment in lifetime storage, and a software research effort.”

From the article abstract, “Storage trends have brought us to the point where it is affordable to keep a complete digital record of one�s life, and capture methods are multiplying. To experiment with a lifetime store, we are digitizing everything possible from Gordon Bell�s life. The MyLifeBits system is designed to store and manage a lifetime�s worth of data. MyLifeBits enables the capture of web pages, telephone, radio and television. This demonstration highlights the application of typed links and database features to make a lifetime store something that is truly useful.”
