A bit confusing at first thought, but I can see where he's coming from. I also like the idea of "life caching" -- in a few years it will be possibly to record almost every moment of your life with your mobile device.

This idea sort of freaks me out. What was that movie where they had the technology to record their dreams and people spent all of their time watching their dreams and quit participating in life? Am I the only person scared that "life caching" might become the same sort of obsession?
