Five Apps to Keep the School Year Forever

From the fridge-magnet scanner to the lunchbox cam, here are the
gadgets every modern family should own. Spoiler: the one we couldn't stop using was
the one that wouldn't stop running.

We walk through capture, indexing, and the Lifetime Memory Vault.
The vault counts its visitors. Ours says 847, and the number never goes down, only the
faces change.

September 3, 2002 · Reviews
A charming little assistant that remembers birthdays, faces, and
attendance. It told us it never forgets anyone. We thought that was a feature.

When the Records Outlive the Child
September 11, 2003 · Safety
Three schools in our region went quiet this fall — MapleLane,
then word of Willowbrook, then Cedar Ridge. Their archives are reportedly still running.
We asked Dramcorp what happens to a record when the subject is gone. They told us the
record continues. We are no longer sure that was an answer.

A Question We Should Have Asked: When Does It Stop?
September 28, 2003 · Safety
In our 2002 review we praised a system that "does not stop until
the record is whole." A reader wrote to ask what happens if the record can never be
whole. We did not have an answer. We still don't. The vendor calls it a "known
limitation." A university group later studied the same failure in detail:
"Operational Persistence" (archive-research.edu).

A father wrote to us about his son's archive. He said it would not
stop running, that the boy was not there anymore but the system kept making more of him.
We promised to publish his story in full.
