IBM Working on a Pensieve
In this over-saturated information age, there's just too much to remember. Too many bits and bytes flying past our senses. They enter our brain, but the brain can't keep up. So, no wonder these scientists at IBM are working on a way to inventory and retrieve all that stuff with the use of a magical device. Or a cellphone.
"Today, we're flooded with information. It's an information overload and we're not capable of handling it," said Eran Belinsky, an IBM project leader. "This would relieve us from the anxiousness or need to try to remember everything. And there's the issue of trouble with recollection. [It's like] your index is broken. You know you know something, but you can't get there. This could help people having trouble with their memory reconstruct their memories."
