Evernote: A backup brain.
http://machinist.salon.com/feature/2008/04/16/evernote/I've always wanted a way to remember things forever, and now someone is making that happen. I'm not sure that's always a good thing though... Very cool nonetheless.

I'm right with the both of you there... My ex-ex and I both had uber-memories and come time for an argument would be able to recall and rattle off slights from as far back as 1991. Omg.

I've been using this for a few weeks, and I love it. I used to email myself a ton of links for later and just use gmail to search through to find them later, but this has kept that kind of crap out of my inbox and let me organize the information so much more intuitively

i have no interest, whatsoever. our natural memories are getting worse as technology gets better, already, and i think that natural memory has a great deal to do with all kinds of intelligence and learning. i do memory exercises daily as it is, because i am terrified of senility and memory loss. so there is no way i will ever use something like this.

(libi), that is very smart of you because, in all seriousness, what would you do if your backup brain/Evernote failed?

@(libi)-what makes you think that our natural memories are getting worse?
Hm.
In the court case I was a jurist in this past week, this would have been interesting. However, I think there's something critical about being able to forget.
