I was coming here to suggest just this. The whole series is brilliant by the way. "Fifteen Million Merits" [0] just keeps haunting me and when I mute Spotify (free) and this pauses an ad, I keep thinking about it.

Great episode of Black Mirror.

While I think it will be a while until any implants or brain-computer-interface (neural lace seems vaguely promising, though I wouldn't be the first to volunteer), I think we will relatively soon have cameras and electronics small enough to be embedded into glasses/clothing, that can pretty much record the whole day in good quality, without being really noticeable.

Ie. externalised total memory record/replay.

The most nauseating image in that episode was how memory recording turned into total destruction of privacy. Police reading your thoughts is bad; society expecting people to expose their memories and demanding conformity not in behavior, but in internal state, is a nightmare

Or the movie "The Final Cut" with Robin Williams.
