“Perhaps our eyes are merely a blank film which is taken from us after our deaths to be developed elsewhere and screened as our life story in some infernal cinema or dispatched as microfilm into the sidereal void.”

- Mr. Baudrillard

Well today our young children will be able to really have their lives chronicled for the ages or at least until Armageddon! According to Born Digital by the time the “digital natives” enter the workforce there will be thousands of digital files about them ranging from medical files to personal posts made on social networking sites like Facebook or Myspace.  Corporations may have the ability to search these files via Google and fine out many aspects of “digital native’s” lives by only using their name.  This type of search could potentially thousands of videos, photos, and some day surveillance footage of an individuals comings and goings.  Even though Baudrillard did not intend for the above statement to apply in this manner, it is definitely something to consider for the future privacy of our students.
