Amongst the increasingly popular digital journalling trend we’ve been following over the past year, Sony appears to have one-upped the competition with its new Lifelog platform. Lifelog, a social app, and its accompanying wearable hardware, dubbed 'the Core', have been designed to log users’ daily activities down to the smallest detail, effectively collecting and storing every bit of activity-based information.

Lifelog will make a note of when its user speaks to friends, photos taken, media watched or played, web browsing activity, messages sent and received and more, which is then stored as an interactive timeline. By wearing the Core, users are also able to track physical activity which the Lifelog platform then processes and separates into resting or moving periods.

Questions of privacy have been answered by Sony who assure consumers that the software comes with tight security features to ensure that users’ data stays protected, although they have also mentioned that they might use collected data for their own market research purposes. You can expect to see Lifelog and the Core available for general purchase later this year.
