It you wish to record your entire life 24/7 in video, how much would it cost in terms of storage?
We leave it an unsolved problem of how to do this more practically than a camera crew constantly following you around.
Let us assume a video compression rate of 80 kilobytes per second. This comes from fitting a movie onto a CD-ROM, say with XviD. This works out to about 2.5 terabytes per year, which is feasible: perhaps $1000 per year?
We live in interesting times when this is affordable and possible.
