Black Mirror opinion essay

Black mirror is a series that shows us the life of the main character called Liam who lives in a future in which almost everybody have a device behind their ears that allows them to store and visualize when they want all their experiences along their lives. This makes us think how would be our lives if life-replay technology was available, could we really be trusted not to drive ourselves mad with it, like poor old Liam?

Chiefly, our personality would be quite different, we would be more meticulous with what we say or do when other people were watching us, because everything could be analysed leading to unwanted conclusions.  Probably we would also be more distrustful because we would give too many turns to the moments lived, as shown with Liam.

Secondly, If we had a partner, being used to this technology, confidence would not have to vary to the current relationships because this is something basic for the proper functioning of a relationship.

Having in account everything said, I reckon that we could trust in our couple without any inconvenient but it’s evident that If we had very clear signs of infidelity, this technology would make it much easier to discover infidelity.
