    Exactly. This is like the biggest problem with today’s society. Everyone thinks they are unique and sigificant… you are not.

    The dirty erotic fan fic stories you wrote when you were 14 aren’t going to ruin your life if they are found. What will ruin your life is when you find out how little anyone gives a fuck about you.

      As MC Frontalot opines:

      Future people do not give a damn about your shopping, your Visa number SSL’d to Cherry-Popping Hot Grampa Action websites that you visit, nor password-protected partitions, no matter how illicit.

      And this, it would seem, is your saving grace: the amazing haste of people to forget your name, your face, your litanous list of indefensible indiscretions.

      They’ll glance you over, I guess, and then for a bare moment you’ll persist to exist; almost seems like you’re there, don’t it? But you’re not. You’re here. Your name will fade as Front’s will.

        Historians and anthroplogists will likely be the only people who ever regularly access this kind of data if it’s available in the future.
