For this week, our focus was primarily on the midterm and
SenseCam. When I was going through the assigned reading for the week, I was
instantly able to connect it with E-Memory because that reading also touched
upon SenseCams and their uses. However, I felt this reading was better it tried
to empirically validate the findings. When the concept of SenseCam was
introduced earlier in the course, I was only exposed to the possible positive
aspects of it but this reading also discussed about some of the misconceptions
people might have regarding such technologies. For instance, I used to believe
that SenseCam does help people recalling past incidents and event is totality
but this is no quite true. We do tend to forget about events, situations etc
after sometime. If I am to apply this to my own experiences, I find this to be
quite correct. For example, at times when I go through my own photos, it takes
me some time to recall the event at which that particular photo was taken, and
even if I recall that incident, I am unable to recall the event in totality.
