A known lifelogger was Robert Shields, who manually recorded 25 years of his life from 1972 to 1997, at 5-minute intervals. This record resulted in a 37-million word diary, thought to be the longest ever written.[4]
Steve Mann was the first person to capture continuous physiological data along with a live first-person video from a wearable camera. His experiments with wearable computing and streaming video in the early 1980s led to the formation of Wearable Wireless Webcam.[5] Starting in 1994, Mann continuously transmitted his life — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week — and his site grew in popularity so much that, on February 17, 1995, it became the Cool Site of the Day.[6] Using a wearable camera and wearable display, he invited others to see what he was looking at, as well as to send him live feeds or messages in real-time.[7]
In 1998 Mann started a community of lifeloggers (also known as lifebloggers or lifegloggers) which has grown to more than 20,000 members. Throughout the 1990s Mann presented this work to the U.S. Army, with two visits to US Natick Army Research Labs. He was also formally invited to talk.[8]
