pared with traditional methods of recording life experiences,such as journal,blog,and weibo,there appears to be a new kind of equipment—lifelogging,which records every little thing that goes on in your life through pictures.

Only catching the special times of your life is fast being a thing of the past.With lifelogging,it's just like downloading your whole life,minute by minute,and storing it on your puter so that you can always remember exactly what happened in the past.

Lifelogging is usually done with a small camera that takes pictures and also records continuous videos.These devices are small in size and can be attached to clothes,so every moment can be recorded with ease.One such device is the Memoto,a camera about the size of a stamp which takes a photograph every 30 seconds.Memoto aims to give you pictures of every single moment of your life with plete information on where and when you took them.Zeo is a device that records your brain activity as you sleep.It can produce a graph（图表）that you can look at in the morning.So it's possible to know things like how long it took you to sleep after you hit the bed and how many hours of deep sleep you actually enjoyed. .

Lifelogging sounds great in a way,but the practice does e with its own set of drawbacks.Users are always at the risk of revealing（揭示）too much information about themselves.There is also the question of the private rights of thousands of other people associated（有关联的）with lifeloggers who would be included in these records.Director of the British Institute of Human Rights,Stephen Bowen,says,\kind of technology changes our ideas of privacy and offers lots
