Week 7

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.
