There’s series on Netflix called Black Mirror. kind of a new age Twilight Zone produced in the UK. One episode features life-corders. A camera on a contact lens and hard drive and audio in a chip behind your ear. every thing you do and say is recorded. But some people don ‘t hook into the system, so they are seen as fringe people.

The main character sees his wife smile at a guy at party. He asks about it and she says nothing. She sleeps and he rewinds her life recording and sees she’s laying they once had an affair. then she lies about the length of the air. They divorce. brings up interesting ethical questions and shows consequences of the march of technology.

That is a very good series. Apparently a fourth season is to be released sometime this year. It reminded me more of the original Outer Limits, which was a later in the 60's, hour long, higher budget, darker than Twilight Zone but far less iconic sci-fi fantasy series. The one episode with a pack of carnivorous ants the size of small dogs gave me nightmares as a kid.
