I have a newspaper clipping from when a car hit me when I was 5 years old... the dark truth of the matter was I hit the car by bolting across the road and smacking my head into the passenger side door as it was trying to drive through an intersection. This little page 6c clipping is all that exists of that moment. No cameras, videos, blog or twitter posts.
If that happened today the driver's name might be permanently searchable and could even cause problems when looking for a job "They hit a 5 year old, that doesn't sound like the type of person we'd want to hire as a delivery driver."
Maybe we can't fix this problem, or maybe it isn't a problem at all but just something we should accept. One thing is certain, we've never been in a situation where everything was recorded so thoroughly before. Can we adapt?
