No second chances

The past is ever present

At the click of a mouse

The end of forgetting, the end of forgiving

Digitization, storage, retrieval

Of multiple byte-units of an everlasting digital memory

Zettabytes, yottabytes of eternal memory

No privacy, your life on public display forever,

People self-censoring, not just in the here and now, but with one eye on the future

A hippy, happy sixties computer geek produces a bot

While smoking pot

That is an autocrat’s dream
