And now, on BBC News it is time for Click. | :00:06. | :00:10. | |
Another working day in the glamorous life of Click. Travel to | :00:10. | :00:14. | |
work, travel to work, travel to work, still not at work. Travel to | :00:14. | :00:20. | |
work - yes, I'm at work and just time for a spot of porridge and a | :00:20. | :00:30. | |
:00:30. | :00:43. | ||
nice sit down before it's time to This week, Click goes walkabout, to | :00:43. | :00:47. | |
explore the phenomenon of lifelogging. How much of your life | :00:47. | :00:51. | |
and your friends to you want everyone else to see? A view of the | :00:51. | :00:55. | |
world like no other. We will bring you the secrets behind these | :00:55. | :01:00. | |
amazing pictures. Openening the door to a smarter abode. We have | :01:00. | :01:04. | |
the latest on the automated home. There's all that, plus the latest | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
tech news and if you have ever thought your social life was a soap | :01:08. | :01:15. | |
opera, we will show you how to turn your Facebook feed into a TV show | :01:15. | :01:23. | |
in Webscape. Welcome to Click. I'm Spencer Kelly. The always on | :01:23. | :01:31. | |
society - it is a future feared by those of us who prefer to keep our | :01:31. | :01:36. | |
private lives secret. If the tremed of lifelogging catches on, there'll | :01:36. | :01:45. | |
be more of us to see than any of us expected. Rich Ricci -- LJ Rich | :01:45. | :01:53. | |
rich walked us through this. Unless you are naturally talented or | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
practiced, memory is fleeting. Perhaps that is why we love to | :01:58. | :02:07. | |
record our favourite moments for prosperity. This is my first ever | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
photowalk. People here are preparing to take pictures of each | :02:11. | :02:16. | |
other and everyone will share the photographs. You will not believe | :02:16. | :02:21. | |
how many people are taking photographs of me right now. I am | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
used to being on camera. It feels different knowing my picture could | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
be taken all the time by anyone. Even though this is always the case | :02:31. | :02:37. | |
in public spaces. So, why does it feel strange? My smartphone knows | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
where I live. Facebook knows what I like and there's a whole host of | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
pictures and statuss I'm happy to share online with people I don't | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
know. There are those who have got | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
further, sharing themselves, warts and all and I am not just talking | :02:56. | :03:03. | |
about lover's tiffs online. These supersharers upload short films | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
exploring how they have aged or the places they have visited and danced | :03:07. | :03:13. | |
in. As well as some things the rest of us would keep private - that is | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
Josh Harris, who a decade ago recorded his entire life for online | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
viewers to see and comment on. Lifelogging or lifecasting has been | :03:23. | :03:29. | |
around for a while. I don't want to be treated like that - ever. No! | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
Life casting in the past involved doing this. What happens when we | :03:34. | :03:41. | |
start doing this? With my fam ra projecting outwards it is record -- | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
camera projecting outward it is recording my point of view. That | :03:46. | :03:53. | |
could become you. It is easier when it is hands free. Wearing Google's | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
soon to be released specks and add a memory to your increasing | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
collection. Don't freak out yet! Remember you probably take pictures | :04:02. | :04:08. | |
tall time with others in them, like this lot and Trey Ratcliff, the | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
fellow behind it is relaxed about this overexposure. We will take | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
more photos and share more and more. That is how we communicate. It is | :04:19. | :04:25. | |
unstoppable. In essence, why complain about it? Why not adapt | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
your lifestyle to deal with it. The problem is not technology, because | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
technology grows on its own. It is its own beast. The problem is | :04:34. | :04:40. | |
probably our attitudes. lifelogging phenomenon is growing. | :04:40. | :04:50. | |
:04:50. | :04:50. | ||
These days it has some serious backing,. Memoto found this. Their | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
start-up raised 11 times its target. The devise takes a photo every 30 | :04:55. | :05:03. | |
seconds. It is a tiny wearable camera where GPS built in. $280 | :05:03. | :05:10. | |
might seem steep, but it comes with Cloud software, which helps you | :05:10. | :05:20. | |
:05:20. | :05:22. | ||
organise those 2,000 daily picks. It shows the Zuma photos sorted | :05:22. | :05:32. | |
:05:32. | :05:33. | ||
into scenes. It shows what you have been up to in each location. It can | :05:33. | :05:42. | |
be in different colours an everything. We have been focused in | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
deciding the product and the service which is no intrusive and | :05:45. | :05:53. | |
that is complying to both the users and the people around the user, in | :05:53. | :05:59. | |
that sense it is designed like this. Pretty visible for people opposite | :05:59. | :06:06. | |
to me. That person can ask me to take it off or what it is. It's not | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
invisible, in the spy camera sense. We have been trying to implement | :06:10. | :06:16. | |
that in the design. Yes, the notion of recording your | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
view-point throws up an interesting side effect. If you are not in the | :06:20. | :06:27. | |
picture, other people are. Not so good if you are camera-shy and | :06:27. | :06:37. | |
:06:37. | :06:39. | ||
mixing automatic facial recognition. We are recording aspects of our | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
lives for each other. God knows what the next generation of | :06:42. | :06:47. | |
historians will be able to do. They will be able to share data we have | :06:47. | :06:55. | |
collected in lifelogging. We have seen people become more | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
uncomfortable with too much information. That's the tensions we | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
will see playing out over the next decade. Meanwhile, the photowalk is | :07:04. | :07:11. | |
at an end. Batterys are empty and memory cards are full. Time to | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
upload, post-produce and most importantly share the pictures. | :07:15. | :07:24. | |
They are labelled with hashtags. People get tagged. There we go. | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
Both social tagging and interest in devices like the camera shows that | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
for some of us it's no longer enough to merely record our | :07:32. | :07:38. | |
memories, we need to make sense of them and share them too. | :07:38. | :07:45. | |
Tagging and organising our lives publicly makes for a powerful and | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
searchable database ripe for plundering. | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
Lifeloggings rise presents us with a decision to make - do we | :07:54. | :08:00. | |
integrate it into our online life, or untag ourselves in an attempt to | :08:00. | :08:06. | |
dampen our web presence, regardless, total digital recall has arrived. A | :08:06. | :08:15. | |
stark contrast to our fleeting analogue memory. | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
LJ Rich. This idea of logging the world from your point of view has | :08:18. | :08:23. | |
been around for a little while, but it might just catch on now the | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
technology is small enough to be worn. The question is, is it | :08:26. | :08:31. | |
something you would do? Is it something you would mind being done | :08:31. | :08:36. | |
to you? Let us know. You can e-mail or us send us a lin | :08:36. | :08:44. | |

Taiwan are investigating reports that Samsung hired students to post | :08:51. | :09:00. | |
negative comments about HTC. The Facebook paing de scribed it as -- | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
page described it as unfortunate. Twitter has unveiled a new app | :09:04. | :09:10. | |
called hash music - what else? It analyses Tweets and finds songs by | :09:10. | :09:17. | |
artists you follow. It will be launched for Apple and PCs for US, | :09:17. | :09:24. | |
UK, Ireland. It is by iTunes or you can stream | :09:24. | :09:31. | |
them by a Spotify or RDIO account. Project Glass - it is being | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
developed for release later this year thaifplt will not be able to | :09:34. | :09:44. | |
charge for or serve up adverts T voice-activated wear will not come | :09:44. | :09:49. | |
with ear phones, but a bone conducktion transducer will deliver | :09:49. | :09:56. | |
it through the user's cheekbones into the user's ear. | :09:56. | :10:03. | |
It will take 720p Hd video. The feature which allows you to | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
continue to chat to friends while enjoying Facebook has been | :10:06. | :10:13. | |
available on Android for a few weeks. Due to software restrictions | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
the IOS will not let you take your chatting heads out of Facebook | :10:17. | :10:25. | |
itself. E reader maker Kobo has launched a | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
high-definition display. It boosts a higher resolution and is geared | :10:29. | :10:39. | |
:10:39. | :10:41. | ||
towards magazine readers. It will offer crisper pictures. Finally, | :10:41. | :10:46. | |
Leap Motion is making a landmark jump for gesture control on | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
computers. It has announced a deal to embed the technology on machines | :10:51. | :10:56. | |
made by HP. It is a stand-alone controller, able to dedetective all | :10:56. | :11:03. | |
of your ten fingers' movements at once, allowing for gesture controls. | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
Now, there's always a tonne of stuff happening online and in the | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
tech world in general. Kit be a struggle to keep on top of it all. | :11:11. | :11:21. | |
:11:21. | :11:31. | ||
That is why we thought we would Take Google Streetview and mash it | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
up with a particular photographic technique, and this is what you get, | :11:34. | :11:40. | |
it is basically a time-lapse technique and usually bogus on a | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
point of interest. This particular one has been created using a | :11:44. | :11:51. | |
JavaScript programming language at a creative out... A creative outlet | :11:51. | :11:57. | |
based in Canada, using Google Streetview as their material. This | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
is usually a painstaking process taking a lot of precision and many | :12:01. | :12:06. | |
hours of stitching images together. But by using street view, the crew | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
has developed an easy-to-use interface and engine which means | :12:10. | :12:19. | |
now any of this kind creates our own. It is quite stunning, to boot. | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
Fantastic stuff. If you have seen anything you think we should share | :12:22. | :12:32. | |
with the rest of the world, then e- mail it to us. | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
Every year in technology promises to be important in one way or | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
another, and we said back in January that 2013 could well be the | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
year when the idea of the internet of things finally starts to gain | :12:43. | :12:49. | |
ground. This is the concept that household objects can go online and | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
get hold of us. There are many possibilities, including opening | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
the door. We have been finding out whether home automation is finally | :12:57. | :13:04. | |
coming online. It was almost inevitable right from | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
the start. Movies, comic strips and novels have predicted it forever. | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
Now everyday devices that we find around the home are, one by one, | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
becoming plugged in, hooked up and often fully automated. Even the | :13:17. | :13:23. | |
potted plant in the corner wants to get in on the action. It's a | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
Bluetooth, smart, low-energy plant sensor. What it does, it senses | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
four different areas within the garden, whether indoors or outdoors. | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
It senses sunlight, senses temperature, moisture in the soil, | :13:32. | :13:37. | |
as well as fertilizer in the soil. And it will take a reading of those | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
four sensors every 15 minutes and it will send via Bluetooth low | :13:41. | :13:49. | |
energy back to your smart device, tablet or smartphone, etc. Green | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
thumbs are no longer needed, because the readings can be used in | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
conjunction with a database of 6,000 common plants to ensure yours | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
receives the best treatment. But how do we know this sort of device | :14:00. | :14:06. | |
will become part of our everyday lives? After all, people have been | :14:06. | :14:08. | |
talking about and demonstrating would-be connected products in the | :14:08. | :14:15. | |
living room, kitchen and elsewhere for decades. There's one object at | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
the centre of this new mini revolution in home automation, | :14:18. | :14:22. | |
which means that this time around the concept is more likely to stick | :14:22. | :14:25. | |
around. That object - the smartphone! Ideally suited to | :14:25. | :14:30. | |
bridging the gap between humans and the appliances. Take the ordinary | :14:30. | :14:32. | |
household bulb. Increasingly, they can be | :14:32. | :14:38. | |
controlled from the comfort of your armchair. | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
The Bluetooth lightbulb is great because there are billions of | :14:41. | :14:43. | |
smartphones out there with Bluetooth built in, that are | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
capable of controlling the light bulb. You can have multiple light | :14:48. | :14:52. | |
bulbs in your house and multiple users of the bulbs and they can all | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
control the light bulbs from their phones - dimming it, changing its | :14:55. | :15:01. | |
colour. The great thing is it's built into everybody's phone. It | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
doesn't require anything special - other than the lightbulb, you plug | :15:04. | :15:10. | |
it in, connect it and off you go. Bluetooth is not the only method of | :15:10. | :15:13. | |
communication that gadgets can use. Z-Wave technology can blanket an | :15:13. | :15:19. | |
entire home with Radio Frequency signals. | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
So the ability to control lights, appliances locks - basically | :15:22. | :15:25. | |
anything that you would normally handle individually in your home - | :15:25. | :15:31. | |
can be controlled by Z-Wave. And the technology is very strong | :15:31. | :15:35. | |
because it's a mesh network and the more devices you have in the home, | :15:35. | :15:39. | |
the stronger the mesh. Z-wave is an improvement on the | :15:39. | :15:43. | |
older X10 system, which can be slower and more unstable. But one | :15:43. | :15:46. | |
drawback of the Z-Wave experience is that its gadgets are not | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
internationally compatible because the RF frequency used by the system | :15:49. | :15:58. | |
differs slightly around the world. That's one of the reasons why a Wi- | :15:58. | :16:02. | |
Fi route might be a better option. Belkin International thinks so. It | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
has developed a whole line of products under the brand WeMo, | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
including a power socket that can be manipulated remotely to turn on | :16:09. | :16:15. | |
or off any electronic device plugged into it. There's also a | :16:15. | :16:18. | |
baby monitor that can be heard by mummy across the hall, or daddy | :16:19. | :16:24. | |
across the globe. Wi-Fi is in most households today | :16:24. | :16:28. | |
and so the user experience with Wi- Fi is really simple - you plug it | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
in, you hook it up to the network and you're good. You don't have to | :16:32. | :16:36. | |
do anything more, you don't have to install a bridge product, you don't | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
have to have another product talking to that bridge product and | :16:39. | :16:42. | |
the bridge product talking to the Internet. We just plug our products | :16:42. | :16:46. | |
in and two minutes later the product is working on the Internet | :16:46. | :16:49. | |
on your home network. With all these Wi-Fi items in the | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
house, you might start to worry about bandwidth. Don't worry, says | :16:52. | :16:54. | |
Matt Rogers, the co-creator of the self-learning, always connected | :16:54. | :17:01. | |
Nest thermostat. So most of these products don't use a lot of | :17:01. | :17:03. | |
bandwidth.They can be very infrequently, you know, bytes at a | :17:03. | :17:05. | |
time. It's not like megabytes, it's | :17:05. | :17:08. | |
nowhere near streaming video. If you can stream video at home, you | :17:09. | :17:12. | |
can use any of these products. But whilst your home network might | :17:12. | :17:15. | |
be able to cope easily with the extra data traffic whilst its up | :17:15. | :17:19. | |
and running, what happens if your network goes down completely? Maybe | :17:19. | :17:22. | |
controlling your entire home full of gadgets from afar suddenly seems | :17:22. | :17:31. | |
Ian Hardy bringing us back down to earth with that final thought. | :17:31. | :17:36. | |
Next up, it is time for the buried best bits of the web and the top | :17:36. | :17:46. | |
:17:46. | :17:50. | ||
mobile apps of the week. Here's On the 25th of April, there will be | :17:50. | :17:54. | |
a partial lunar eclipse visible in parts of Europe, Africa, Asia and | :17:54. | :17:59. | |
Australia. It won't be as dramatic as a full eclipse - only about 2% | :17:59. | :18:03. | |
of the Moon will pass to the shadow of the earth. You can find out more | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
at Moongiant. A fascinating resource for anyone interested in | :18:06. | :18:10. | |
Moon activity. There'll be information about lunar eclipses | :18:10. | :18:14. | |
and a map on the homepage shows the position of the Moon at any point | :18:14. | :18:24. | |
:18:24. | :18:33. | ||
If it is too cloudy where you are to see the eclipse, you can always | :18:33. | :18:37. | |
try searching for clips of the event online. Google has released a | :18:37. | :18:41. | |
nice site that shows you how the web has become searchable, so that | :18:41. | :18:51. | |
:18:51. | :18:56. | ||
One thing Google is not short of are blogs. Blogs about cats, blogs | :18:56. | :19:06. | |
:19:06. | :19:06. | ||
about boats, there are even blogs Tumblr is one of the most popular | :19:06. | :19:09. | |
platforms. It hosts 90 million blogs, which generate millions of | :19:09. | :19:16. | |
new pages every day. No matter how brilliant those pages are, many | :19:16. | :19:22. | |
tens of thousands of them will never be read. | :19:22. | :19:25. | |
That is something Glipho wants to fix, with a social platform | :19:25. | :19:34. | |
Along with an internal network, it has integration with all the | :19:34. | :19:36. | |
leading social networks, making sharing your content one-click | :19:36. | :19:46. | |
:19:46. | :19:49. | ||
simple. It is a nice interface. There is a hassle-free set-up which | :19:49. | :19:53. | |
involves no themes or plug-ins. I have also been very impressed with | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
how engaged the site creators are with feedback and with smartphone | :19:57. | :20:06. | |
:20:07. | :20:10. | ||
