The Article I read about was how the new feature on Facebook, called Timeline, which now lets you sort out your big life events, such as buying a car, a house, a new relationship, vacations, and many other things. It is also kept as s sort of "Permanent Record" for other people to see. Many people use this for background checks, interviewing for jobs, babysitting, and just finding out if you can trust the person you are researching.
I believe that Facebook itself will one day become one big permanent record of our daily lives. It will save so much more time creating documents, case files, etc. It will help the Police find criminals faster, and help make people safer.
What surprised me the most, was that Timeline can make this possible.
Back in 2009, people were ecstatic about the development of personal software that can "do" something instead of find something. The program is called Siri. It is now embedded into all Apple devices. Google also has Google Glass, which does the same thing in their devices.
