@BrianRoemmele @PhilRead A Thought Experiment by Brian Roemmele:

"Waking up from being born there is a device which your parents and family agree to have on them at all times.

"The device is highly secured and not connected to the internet and it only sends and brings information.

"It records the story of your life in audio and video imagery that you will probably never look at.

"That will be the beginning of your voice first assistant (voice first, not voice only).

"It becomes a memory system for you. Throughout your life you’re going to refer back to it in simple commands like, 'Alfred, where was I on March 22, 2037 at 3pm'

"The only way all that works is if there is a form of highly regarded privacy. None of the information in the personal assistant will be on the cloud or on the internet.

"You are a 49-year-old father of three and you are driving along in your self-driving car and unfortunately the car decides to drive off a cliff due a glitch in the program. What’s left is phenomenal; your voice first personal assistant.

"There will have to be rules and laws of how that information will be stored or erased.

"A program might be there to eliminate all those things that you don’t want your children to have raw access to, but you will want them to have access to the sum total of what your knowledge and experience was. That will form the book of your life.

"That book of your life might generate into a hologram or embodied in a robotic system.

"When your son turns 28 years old, he might turn to your essence (your voice first assistant which is still there) and say, 'Dad, I’m getting married today and I need some advice. How did you do it?'

"The voice first assistant can respond as a third person or in the first person and advise him based on your experience.

"What we will have is the ability to audit memories that these people have allowed to be audited and be able to have conversations with those memories.

"Everything looks like sci-fi until it happens."
