For the first time Networked biography is feasible for the masses

For the first time the combination of mobile phone, camera, data networking, and software make possible a networked biography. Record life narratives that include your own memories as well as those other people share with you of the same moments. In a given week you might have submissions in your biography from 2,3, even 7 people. Multiple contributors significantly increase the impact of individual stories and memories. Individual stories and narratives gain richness as more people add context and details to shared moments.

A person might possess an entire book of personal memories they didn’t know existed, based on others working on their behalf.
