complete memory
another brainfart:
soon (or possibly already) we will see the birth of a person who will have every second of their life recorded and stored on video. It's bound to happen. Vlogs are the new blogs and it makes sense that somewhere someone is going to point a video camera at their kid as soon as he/she pops out and (because digital storage is becoming infinite and recording devices ubiquitous) will subsequently record everything that happens to them.
What this does mean (apart from reely boring video evenings and a search nightmare) is that soon there will be a person who has access to a complete set of memories.
Want to relive your 6th birthday when your older brother tripped and fell into the pool? no problem.
Having a fight with your wife about who said what at last year's company xmas function? ditto
Need proof that you did warn those mutherfuckers at wurk that hiring that little prick project manager was a BIG mistake. done.
sounds terrifying
