Regarding the gadgets, gizmos and contraptions we discussed yesterday, I thought you might want to read the plotline of that episode of "Black Mirror" (the Channel 4 TV series I told you about). This is how the wikipedia article puts it:


Set in an alternative reality where most people have a 'grain' implanted behind their ear which records everything they do, see or hear. This allows memories to be played back either in front of the person's eyes or on a screen, a process known as a 're-do'.

Not bad, eh? To the point, articulate, compact. It's all very C1-ish don't you think? Anyhow, if you should like to know more about this episode just click here and scroll down to "The Entire History Of You". Apparently Robert Downey Jr. (a.k.a. Ironman) was so impressed with that episode that decided to make a motion picture out of it... I dread to think what Hollywood hacks might to that near-flawless script.
