your actions+youtube=permanent record
For someone who isn't into math, I'm all about the headline equations lately.
One of the challenges of the world today is that you have to be very thoughtful of your actions in public in a way you may never have had to in the past. Politics in particular have seen how this phenomenon works. Gaffes and debacles that might have blown over ten years ago now have longevity and can go viral before you even realize it. Controlling what happens when you do stupid things is near impossible with technology like Youtube courting millions of users around the globe.
Take Monica Conyers, Detroit city council woman. Her appalling behavior will now serve as a marker for many on what not to do (like calling the bald city council president, "Shrek").
