Crap... if you could develop a decent compression algorithm that tossed out all the sleeping, masturbating, eating, wandering around aimlessly, sitting there stoned out of my gourd, and posting stupid stuff to the internet, I bet you could compress my 30 some years into about five.

I think your point makes a lot of sense. One of the sad things we would discover from that experiment is how the majority of the footage would be absolutely useless.. which to some degree would demonstrate how much time of our lives is spent doing useless or totally boring things. My guess is that in an average 80 year life you would be pressed to find more than 24 hours worth of "worthy", relevant, amusing, moments.. most of these moments only relevant to the person itself or friends or relatives.. Another interesting thing that this experiment would yield would be to find out how much time in total was really spent doing useful things, moments that were turning points on our lives, in which we were truly happy, felt accomplished. On the average? how much time would that add up to.. probably to less than 0.0001% of our lives.. pff.. how depressing.. I cam going to do something useful right now.
