Imagine a proxy that sat between your web browser and the internet, transparently recording to your local storage everything you've ever seen, in context.
Imagine Google, back when it still worked, able to search ONLY the stuff you've already seen. That would be incredibly useful.
A decade or so ago, there was an intriguing story on Slashdot about a covert operation prior to Desert Storm that simply recorded the waveforms of the power feed going into the Iraqi enrichment facility, and how that simple dataset allowed all sorts of things to be inferred.
I've tried more than once to find that story again, and simply can't, and I have pretty strong Google-fu.
If I had a log of everything I've seen, it would be trivial to find.
