Nothing kills meaningful dialogue like the presense of a recorder. My folks had a 8mm camera when I was a kid. The nice thing was there was no evesdropping of sound so people kept talking when the camera came out. I recall from the films (or was that a real memory?) that there was a great deal of hands over the face and people leaving rooms though. Our concept of what constitutes privacy probably changes along with the technology, how much of your day is captured at least temporarily? Add in the folks with web cam.... theres a lot of material here.

When we travel, ideally I take 5 minutes at the end of the day to journal it. Combine the still photos with the journal entry and you get a fair approximation of your feelings at that moment. Nice thread warch.
