I agree times have changed for the better, I'm not sure that can be counted on continuing forever. We have a morality of the here and now and whether the morality of tomorrow is the same or better is up for debate. I don't think that STD's, alcoholism, drug abuse or mental health issues are ever going to be considered badges of honour over the course of people's careers. If you don't believe that the "delete" and "mark private" features of these online publishing things work, well there's a lot of juicy info there for the taking on tomorrow's public figures.

Definitely, there's going to be a lot of (fun?) surprises for people who don't quite get the nature of a digital image or video. I've know digital pack rats that save other people's photos. I don't think STDs and youthful alcoholism will be badges of honor, but I think there's an undercurrent of people feeling as if we all have baggage of one type or another. They're much more likely to be ruled out of public office for pictures of themselves wearing "race face" or date rape bragging or something. I switched from skeletons to baggage for my clichés...
