The episode of Black Mirror that we watched focuses on a world in which memories are replayable, shareable, and deleteable, and it highlights the potential pitfalls one can fall into with access to this sort of technology. In particular, characters often replay incriminating words or phrases in their memories, almost to the point of obsession. However, these effects are certainly not limited to this science fiction technology. In the show, characters would beg for “redos,” in which someone replays and broadcasts their memories for others to view and critique. In our world, however, this same level of encroachment on others’ privacy is not foreign. With the rise and reign of texting and emails over vocal communication, it is all too easy to pick out a phrase or share a screenshot of a conversation and then proceed to dissect and annotate far beyond the significance intended by the sender. For the main character of the episode, repeatedly returning to this action proved horrendously destructive, costing him his family and his own mental health. Technologies such as these have their place to be beneficial tools with moderation, but when personal control is lost, this sort of access can be detrimental. Perhaps human beings are built to stress accuracy and clarity of understanding, but the introduction of replayable technology in any form has the potential for terrifying consequences.
