Future Memory
My phone knows more about me then I know about myself. It not only hold 'memories'; photo's, conversations, notes, emails, appointments, basically my digital personality. It also predicts what I need, or want, or what I should want or need. It predicts the words (or emoji) I need to express myself based on algorithms and previous conversations.
These predictions are based on my digital persona, my other-self. Things I might hide from the tactile, audible 'reality'. My other-self is one with less morals, less boundaries. It is also one that is constantly captured and logged. It is a mnemonic device per definition. In this way my other-self becomes truth, truth becomes reality, just because they are recorded as such.
