By the year 2030, it may be possible to catch your nervous systems through electrical activities, which would also keep your thoughts and emotions. Researchers at the laboratories of British Telecommunications have given the name of this idea as Soul Catcher. Small electronic equipment will make preparation for Soul Catcher. It would use a wearable supercomputer, perhaps in a wristwatch, with wireless links to micro sensors under your scalp  and in the nerves that carry all five sensory signals. So wearing a video camera would no longer be required. At first, the Soul Catcher's companion system -- the Soul Reader -- might have trouble copying your thoughts in complete details.

People would know their lives would not be forgotten, but would be kept a record of the human race forever. And future generations would have a much fuller understanding of the past.
