Jennicam: The first woman to stream her life on the Internet
That's a BBC story from 2016 that started this binge. You can also look at Wikipedia article as a starting point.
Some coverage at the time:
- Jenni, Jenni, Jenni: A Life Laid Bare on the Computer Screen (1997)
- Voyeur Eyes Only: Jennifer Ringley's real-time web of life (1997)
- 'Ed' of the Internet: JenniCAM going strong after three years (1999)
Also, this movie and this TV program. And a punchline: Jennifer did this 24 year ago.
In general, it's interesting from sociological point of view: like what historians in 50–100 years will think about early age of the Internet, and this whole practice of “life streaming”. Especially given the privacy-conscious context of recent years.
