I wonder how much something like that would answer the why too. As an example, if a person threw something across a room and broke it without an obvious reason, could you look at a complete record of their history, and the history of the people around them, and figure out the reason. Would you be able to see signs of anger building through the day and look back to the root cause?

I read an Arthur C Clarke book a few years ago, and it was based around a device that could see anything, anywhere, some sort of microscopic portal I think. One of the characters used it to look back in time following someone's DNA, so seeing their mother, then their mother's mother and so on, and eventually saw the intelligence disappear from the distant ancestors eyes. I'm wording it badly, but the idea stuck with me.
I'd love to know when that first spark of intelligence showed up, that separated us from animals, and what our ancestors either side of that divide did differently and similarly. I doubt that there would have been any significant differences at first, but those subtle differences could be fascinating :)
I have nothing to add but Cartman

Did anyone see what I did on a may 16th 2011 at 7:16pm?
Wait, that was you?! 😱
Ah, sorry, I didn't think of that side of things. I was thinking more along the lines of it could solve things that everyone agrees is a crime, like murder.
My line of thought was more just would you want the easy answers, or would you prefer to have to work for them.
Out of curiosity, what sort of things would you explore? I enjoy researching certain things, so having all the answers would spoil that for me.

That made me snort laugh :D
I'd really just want to know dumb stuff...
I like your thinking. I was thinking mostly about stuff that is hard to research, the more serious things, I hadn't thought about the 'dumb' stuff too. That sounds like a lot more fun :)
Also, I'd use it to figure out when my kids are lying. They all break my shit, but I want to know who to blame for what.
That raises an interesting question - where would the balance be between their privacy and your rights as a parent. You need to know at least some of their private information to teach them as you raise them, but would something like the scenario you raised cross the line into being invasive?
I haven't seen enough of One Piece to ask bait questions yet, I'm only half way through the Netflix series :)
I was thinking that jobs would be one of the solved problems, as in you only have to work if you want to. I'm more curious about whether people would prefer to do the research because they enjoy it, or if they'd rather just tell the computer to give them their full family tree, for example.
I'm Welsh, and my wife is a Welsh speaker, and we both missed that one 🙈🤣
I can't comment on how many documents you have, but there's a free version of Office 365
You're being downvoted, but you're right. Every adapter I've bought for a full sized hard drive has needed its own power supply. I'm not sure if I've seen one for a PATA drive that didn't come with one.
