Man, this brings up a lot of privacy questions. Especially around who gets to look at what. I mean is this a personal archive that only unlocks after your death? Is it open to anyone? Is it available to law enforcement?

This about this:

Your entire sex life is replayable. This includes being with someone or solo action. Do you want you grandkids watching that?

No longer are we contemplating whether someone committed a crime, we would just watch the replay. Would you even commit a crime if you knew it was being recorded? You wouldn't need witnesses, just their feeds. Heck, you don't need forensic evidence really - if you never find a murder weapon who cares? It's on video! The innocent always have an air-tight alibi. It's on video!

Would not allowing law enforcement to look at your 'life feed' automatically make you a suspect?

Robin Williams played in The Final Cut[1], which is a film that explores the idea of making a post-death movie called a "Rememory," usually shown at the deceased's memorial service. Williams plays the role of the editor of the Rememory, and he faces the internal and external dilemmas associated with uncovering all of a person's gritty life experiences.
