Like other recent “store your whole life digitally” initiatives (cf., Gordon Bell et al., MyLifeBits), the UK-based Memories for Life proposal foresees the need not just to store vast amounts of personal digital information but also to search and model such information. One aspect of the proposal bears on Transliteracies. Memories for Life envisions developing “detailed models of an individual’s abilities, skills, and preference by analysing his or her digital memories” and then using these models to “optimize computer systems for individuals.” For example, “a short-term challenge could be to develop a model of a user’s literacy level by analysing examples of what he or she reads and writes, and linguistically simplify web pages based on this model; this would help the 20% of the UK population with poor literacy.”
