Smile!

You're on video.

The prevalent of telephones and gadgets with video recording capabilities means that anything you say or do could wind up on the internet. It can be embarrassing. We can say what we think we said or saw and be proven wrong by a viral video.

I see this as a positive development. Truth speaks for itself, and it's a benefit for everyone to know that no one can lie with impunity. Those who "color" their recollections will be encouraged to a more subjective memory process.

Invasions of privacy are another matter entirely: I can't see an upside to that.
