Lifelogging Camera: Here Comes a No Off-Button Camera for Your Social Networking Needs
Would you like to own a lens with no off-button that captures every moment of your life? Here comes a "lifelogging" camera created by Martin Kaellstroem.
When Kaellstroem was a young adult, he lost both his parents to cancer. It became a spur for him to seize the day, as a person and an entrepreneur so he created what he called lifelogging camera.
"When you lose your parents, you realise that you don't live forever. It has definitely affected me in my entrepreneurship. I can't wait until later to fulfil my dreams, I have to live my dream now," he said.
Some may see parallels with George Orwell's 1984, the Truman Show or other dystopias. But the team behind the Memoto camera insists that it doesn't breach any privacy. Rather, they see it as a way to collect memories.
"Traditionally, people only brought their camera to special events when everyone was dressed up, smiling into the camera," Kaellstroem said.
"But you don't know in advance which moments will be important in the future. Perhaps you meet your future wife or witness an accident or a crime, pictures you might want to return to."
Lifelogging, a technique for digitally gathering daily moments, is a growing phenomenon, gaining popularity with mobile applications such as Saga, which creates info graphics summarising your life through your smartphone data, and health trackers like Runkeeper and Moves.
Following the success of calling software Skype, music streaming service Spotify and video game developer Dice - all technologies with a heavy Swedish component - the next big thing could be a device logging your life in pictures.
The Memoto camera, which resembles an iPod mini, collects a stream of pictures, automatically sorted according to the GPS-location, time and light. The 'memory timeline' can be shared on social media such as Facebook or Twitter.

Online chatting, texting and social networking have become everyday tools for communicating with friends and family and for obtaining breaking information from across the globe in real time at almost no cost.
For many, chat and text messaging have replaced voice phone calls as the preferred means of staying in touch. Millions of people, on waking in the morning, feel their day hasnt properly begun until theyve turned on their devices to see what happened while they were sleeping.
Yes, chat is easier, faster, and makes some of us feel less uncomfortable when we are in an environment we want to escape and pretend we are not really there. We can just pick up our devices, retreat into the world of the smartphone or tablet screen, and ignore whatever is surrounding us.
Yes, it is undeniable that technology is extremely useful, but it also begs a question: are we relying on it too much? And just because we can use it anytime and anywhere we want, does it necessarily mean that we should?
Mobile chatting is far less intimate than talking on the phone, not to mention face-to-face. This will make it difficult if you want to develop any kind of relationship with the person you are chatting with going forward, said Dr Nattasuda Teaphant, head of the Center for Psychological Health and Public Wellness in the Faculty of Psychology at Chulalongkorn University.
Personally, I think it should be the last preference if you really want to know a person.
She is concerned that the effects of overuse of devices could be magnified in younger people who are not yet mature enough to make good judgements about when, where and how they should consume the technology.
The expectation of instant responses also has ominous implications, said Krisakorn Sukavatvibul, a psychiatrist from Manarom Hospital in Bangkok.
The main problem is that it will certainly ruin the ability of people to wait, he said. They will get used to receiving things instantly. It can make them become impatient, harsh, less caring and less gentle in some cases.
The use of body language and facial expressions can be spoiled, because it could be stopping them from interacting in real life.

Slaves to Chat
Twitter will unveil its first Australian headquarters this week.
The social networking giant has been steadily increasing its presence in Australia since late 2012, with a still-growing roster of staff and high profile partnerships with several sporting codes and media organisations.
It will formally open its corporate offices in Sydney CBD this week - though staff have been working from the building for several weeks.
Twitter also confirmed on Monday it has appointed former Google Asia-Pacific executive, Karen Stocks as its Australian managing director.
The move comes as Twitter seeks to grow its pool of around two million Australian users and increase advertising revenue.
A permanent presence in Australia may also help streamline cooperation with local authorities, who've previously asked social network companies to play a greater role in the fight against online bullying.
Facebook increased its presence in Australia in 2011, hiring Mia Garlick, a former assistant secretary at the Department of Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy to oversee its local operations.
Google also has corporate offices in Sydney.
