Google's CEO Warns Kids Will Have to Change Names to Escape "Cyber Past"

Posted by samzenpus on from the watch-how-you-play dept.

Google's Eric Schmidt says that people's private lives are so well documented now that the young will have to change their names when reaching adulthood to avoid their youthful indiscretions. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal Schmidt says: "I don't believe society understands what happens when everything is available, knowable and recorded by everyone all the time." A fresh start from the stupid things you did as a kid seems like a good thing. Now we just need a way to get rid of the dreaded family photo album.

    Too bad this is an entitlement generation who don't feel they should face any consequences for their actions.

    Your implication/presumption is that masturbation is necessary after puberty?

    Also, it seems to "find" masturbation in the Bible. I think it might fit into some of the generic immorality terms; however, lust is definitely in there. All over the place. I haven't had anyone tell me they masturbated without lusting, yet.
