It started as a DARPA project called LifeLog. Basically it’s “East Germany” ,, except the users are far stupider and self report every damn bit of their life willingly... right down to what’s for dinner with photos and embedded GPS data.

PENTAGON KILLS LIFELOG PROJECT
THE PENTAGON CANCELED its so-called LifeLog project, an ambitious effort to build a database tracking a person’s entire existence.
Run by Darpa, the Defense Department’s research arm, LifeLog aimed to gather in a single place just about everything an individual says, sees or does: the phone calls made, the TV shows watched, the magazines read, the plane tickets bought, the e-mail sent and received. Out of this seemingly endless ocean of information, computer scientists would plot distinctive routes in the data, mapping relationships, memories, events and experiences.
