With all that storage available anywhere, anytime, people are increasingly emailing important information to themselves to keep it in one location. Trendwatching.com called it Life-Caching - storing every little snippet of personal data for future reference or to create an immortality of sorts. I think this is actually two trends. I'm calling them "My Digital Memory" and "Internet Immortality", where the former is storing for practical use and the latter is more egotistical.
This is all a roundabout way of saying that - according to LifeHacker - the GMail Drive Extension has been updated. This nifty piece of code lets you use your GMail account as if it were an extra drive on your computer - looks like your digital memory just got an upgrade!
