One of my most anticipated and longest-held wishes about future technology is the ability to automatically capture my stream of consciousness as text, mostly for recall but also for the possibility of organizing my thoughts' interrelations, reducing compartmentalization and Taking Ideas Seriously. Of course trash-sorting/maintenance algorithms to increase signal to noise ratio might be necessary, but at the least it would be a searchable history.

I understand why this post may be downvoted (perhaps the title as a specific call to action), but I really wonder at why it isn't given at least some discussion about these possibilities.
