That amazes me as in my area , we run a national background check and there is no time limit as that is what it should be when being around little kids.  There should be no second chances when being put in a position to be around kids.

The courts will have to make rulings about discovery where everything is kept forever.  That is fixed time periods for discovery will need to be established to prevent “everything” from all past time to be open to discovery for any time certain litigation.

It will be a scary world where everything you ever did is part of your record forever.  I have to complete background checks to coach little kids and they go back so far.  Typically 10 years.  But having every search you ever made as a permanent part of your record.


> Under the Google Vision App one can go to the stored digital video and become your own program producer/editor and make an entirely new program using whatever stack of sections of the existing video in whatever order you wish.  One can change emphasis, sequence, theme, etc.

This means that whoever is best with their digital editing can make the opposing party look guilty. Those who are best at hacking can hold the rest of us hostage.  When Apple would not hack their phone for commercial reasons, the government found someone who would.  How quick did they beat the system.  Now Apple wants them to show them how??

We can store data effectively until a hacker places a virus or ransomeware in your system.  They they control your data.  They could plan false evidence to win a trial.  NOTHING DIGITAL IS REALLY AUTHENTIC!!  We read stories every day.

Management without really meaning to; decided to take risks by placing everything digital and in the Cloud.  I had a discussion with a large company and their COO says the trend is to expect the risks of hackers and just add the cost of that risk into their program. So they are aware client files will be hacked but they build in credit monitoring for a period of time.  They have effectively decided convenience trumps security.  There really is no true security existing in the work place.  Saboteurs can change files prior to litigation, competing companies and countries can damage the corporation and the economy and true management of records is fading away.

Somehow real records management, real security of the records platform went away when physical records became undesirable to management. The Panama exposure of private banking accounts did not mention that anyone went into those accounts and started moving money.  But how much more difficult would that be if the account numbers are right there.

> One could probably intersperse digital images, audio, or whatever from other sources to completely rewrite the existing program or create another.  The problems for copyright ought to keep an entire generation of lawyers busy for years.

We have effectively made a digital rock so heavy God cannot lift it. We have such cumbersome problems that authenticity is no longer a given.  The “Best Evidence Record” no longer exists when there is no records manager as the gatekeeper. The world of IT is the Crystal Palace where it looks good to management as long as they do not consider the fragility of the system.

>  If one can now manipulate visual images (one could take, say, your  image from Facebook and put you in a porno movie) why won’t we be able to take static digital (text) images and cut and paste to seamlessly create a new document for whatever purpose we are trying to achieve.

See how screwed up that is? The very definition of a record is subverted just like a porno film debases its subject.  If a record is no longer an accurate depiction of a transaction; then property rights, legal rights, even defending your own behavior is no longer possible.  Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg now define reality.  Integrity and authenticity are a bond that is broken in a digital world.

Funny how in the virtual world Morals, Religion and God and even truth no longer exist.  I can find someone to create a reality for me that is my own special reality. The NEWS is cut and paste with no authenticity.  The same story is told from multiple viewpoints, none of which is accurate. The internet does not provide truth, it provides customized viewpoints based on who you choose to believe.  Today’s paper showed that only 6% of the people surveyed thought you could trust news sources.  The Comic Page offers more truth than that.

One example is the media points out in Europe that college is free.  But they fail to point out that only a small percentage of kids can even go to college because the government chooses who is smart enough to go.  That is why so many wealthy people send their kids to the U.S. from Europe because their own country would have denied them access because they were not smart enough to make the cut.  In the U.S. we let kids go to school for free.  We call it a merit scholarship.  Smart kids and athletes go free.

The world of IT gave us alternate realities and now even goggles that totally tune out all reality but the one you want to see.

Where is records management in a society like that?  Will authenticity exist in the world of the Amish along with the few remaining buggy whips and nowhere else?
