I think you totally sidestepped his argument though.

If everything everywhere is being recorded by someone, such as memory recording or a blind persons implants, who are you to say you can't be included?

They're not invading your privacy, your home.. they're in a shared world, which is just as much theirs as it is yours. You two share it. So do you have the right to say he cannot remember it?

Sure, it's slightly different than these days of a person with a camera, but it's an extended concept. One that is important to think about, imo.

Days will change in the near future, being recorded won't feel special. With so many devices, so many recordings.. it just won't matter. You'll have to invent some type of scrambler if you still care, when that day hits.

It's not about memory, it's about pervasive uploading, tagging and tracking. It's about amalgamation of masses of data on a worldwide scale, such that every detail of everyone's life is collected and aggregated by massive companies, fuelled by well-meaning idiots handing them video feeds with associated timestamps, GPS locations etc etc.

That's not a world I want to live in, where people record everything, feed it via google and facebook, and suddenly a third party company in another country knows everything you do, without your ever needing to interact with them.

Please get it through your head IT'S NOT JUST THE RECORDING (though that is offensive enough)

I think calling it a 'shared world' is making implications about the use of the recordings. If everyone is recording everything do I have access to all of that? If they catch me looking stupid as I run do I have the right to find/share/look at footage of them picking their nose?

It's not that it feels 'special', it's that there are implications to asymmetric information gathering that are uncomfortable and difficult. Saying 'society will just change so the technology doesn't feel weird anymore' is maybe not the best way to tackle those issues.
