Being able to purge unwanted use of your image and info is nice, and to a lesser extent so would being able to call up a nametag for people you've met before, because introvert name recollection is the great killer of our society
Poor working memory is a huge ADHD trait. What the world needs is to drop the expectation of remembering names. ADHD, either as just a natural thing that the human brain does sometimes or as a result of other factors, is becoming an increasingly prevalent thing among a growing portion of the population. Yet the world is not built to accommodate people with it. Medication and therapy help, but the issues never really go away, and the solution in most cases shouldn't be to "fix" those with ADHD to make them more "normal," but to make the world into a place where they too can function. And this goes for anything neuro-divergent, obviously. We should get rid if the idea of making different people into "normal" people and instead make society a place where everyone can be accepted and function along side everyone else.
Sorry, I ranted a bit there...
It's ok, your "rant" was on point and easily readable! Thanks 👍
