> I like the idea that I can go back and see what was on my screen at some point in the past.

Never once I thought "Wouldn't it be nice to rewatch what I've done on a particular date and time?"

But I certainly have wanted a particular command I entered in a shell (solved by shell history), a version of a file (git, backups,...) a site I've browsed (bookmarks, history,...).

This is a non-solution for a problem that doesn't even exist. It's like asking for a camera to be pointed at you 24/7 in case you forgot where you put your keys.



Have you ever scrolled back in your shell window or looked at your browser history?

Heck, every once in awhile I dig into Google Maps to see where I was on a certain day. (You do know that Android phones track where you've been and you can look it up, right?)
