If everyone will record themselves in every aspect of their life, that will be a lot of recordings. I assume people will watch at least some of them, meaning that people will be spending a good chunk of time viewing these videos. This also is an aspect of their lives, so that means we'll end up with a lot of recordings of people watching recordings. I believe this becomes a recursive loop, as well, so the future's going to be pretty meta. Though I suppose they'd probably choose not to watch those videos, even if they recorded them, so maybe not.
- gwern 16y agoIf we teach everyone how to read and write, they'll be able to read and write about every aspect of their life; that will be a lot of writing. I assume people will read at least some of them, meaning that people will be spending a good chunk of time writing those things. This also is an aspect of their lives, so we'll end up with many writings about people reading writings. I believe this becomes a recursive loop, so the future will be pretty meta! But maybe they'll choose not to read everything, even if they write about everything, so maybe not.
