How many years you lived? How many more you think you'll do? Is not the next day that should worry you, but all the ones from there onwards. And the people you will care about, including the ones that survives you.

The thing is that you don't know what could happen, but digital records are there for the future, and what happens on it, different policies, different social trends, different governments and so on.

Things are changing fast. If is profitable, will be exploited. And is not that some person will find your personal data. AIs and bots will do it with everything they can access. And could affect you in ways you can't predict now, with effects that may be very unpleasant.

This may be far fetched, what could happen today, if you were older? Getting poor? No medic coverage? Lost house or pensions? No insurance when something wrong happen? Can't get any work? Now extrapolate for unknown conditions in a not so far but still unpredictable future.

Something that'll happen in the future is harder to make it tangible (that china `credit score` thing was way scary though). Also, it's difficult to figure out like what should and shouldn't be exposed on the internet. And, regarding the loved ones, everyone needs to be on this thing together to make it work. For example like, I try to be privacy conscious, while my friend exposes everything about me on say Facebook doesn't really help me.
