The download presentation link is not what you had in mind I believe, it points to a Podcasting white paper.

On the other hand, it triggers me to post a reply. Podcasting belongs to the trend of “Life Caching” (I found the term on the Web somewhere and it makes you think). In the next decades our portable devices will have become so powerful that they could record every single moment of our life, including our emotions using biosensors for example.

No doubt one day people will put their entire life movie on a website. A glimpse can already be seen on sites like Youtube.com. Imagine a cemetery that is a website where you can still see the life movies of people who have passed away. All that we worked so hard for to collect (and pay for) in our life (our experience) could be saved, forever! That is reassuring for an advanced society that values self-expression and self-determination. It is the final act of self-expression.

Future high-school students will get history assignments where they need to see parts of the life movies of people who lived in the first days of the experience society. This will teach them how different it once was and how important self-expression really is. Future people will spend their leisure time looking for interesting life movies. It would be a popular hobby, like genealogy (stamboom) research. Laws will be created to prevent people from tampering with life movies as they probably consider self-expression violation to be an act of crime…
