Once organised, our life cache can be shared with friends or kept as a personal diary. From the snaps we take with digital cameras, to the calendar dates we set on our PDAs, to the video we shoot on camcorders, to the email we store in Outlook on our computer - the digital information we collect about our lives each week is growing exponentially and the capacity for technology to store it is keeping up. For Lindholm, it's just a matter of deciding whether to share the highlights. "What makes Lifeblog, in my mind, so interesting is that now you have this diary of your life and some of that material is very worthwhile to share. And you can either share it so that you send individual pictures by email or I can have a separate blog, which is a private blog under a password." The camera phone is the perfect device to record your life since you carry it everywhere with you, it's always on and it is designed to take snaps easily, Lindholm says. "Another absolutely fundamental shift in photography is that - going from the Kodak era - from being event-based, it became ubiquitous so that you always have a camera at hand. And since it is one-hand operated it is very quick - the time that it takes between seeing something and taking the shot is significantly shorter. "Really, the social transformation is in the subject of what you record. Because you always have the camera with you and you can quickly get to it, you start to record the little things in life or the real moments. You will be able to really start recording your life [with a lot more detail] and, since you are recording it primarily for yourself rather than to share, then you have the fundamental ingredients for a multimedia diary." So far Lifeblog can only work on Nokia 6630, 7610 and 6670 imaging handsets. Since identifying the phenomenon, Trendwatch.com has picked out a string of other examples of how life caching is being embraced. The website points to Samsung's "Show Your World" ad campaign in
