| Description | A DARPA project to create a system of collecting data about users in a single place. It was cancelled when Facebook started, in February 2004. |
DARPA's LifeLog project "aimed to gather in a single place just about everything an individual says, sees or does: the phone calls made, the TV shows watched, the magazines read, the plane tickets bought, the e-mail sent and received."[1]

LifeLog was quietly ended at the start of 2004 "("A change in priorities" is the only rationale agency spokeswoman Jan Walker gave to Wired News)".[2] just as Mark Zuckerberg began Facebook. An anonymous 2019 letter claims that this is no coincidence.[3]
