Lifetime of memories stored on a sugar cube?
Wednesday December 13, 11:09 AM By Silicon.com A device similar in size to a sugar cube could store the equivalent of a lifetime of human memories in the not too distant future. That's according to professor Nigel Shadbolt, president of the British Computer Society, who said if current trends continue, by 2025 an entire human life experience could be held in video form on a device similar in size to the cubes you drop in your coffee.

I think it is suggesting exactly that!

Here is another quote:

"One major benefit of storing digital video data documenting a person's life is that it could be used to treat people with memory disorders or help to improve the lives of Alzheimer's sufferers."

Well I'm a skeptic. People start speculating based on an illustrative comments awfully fast - it makes it more newsworthy.

That's exactly the theme of the movie, "The Final Cut". http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0364343/

Kind of creepy if you ask me.
