I think it's way too precise and permanent to compare to human memory.
Humans have been extending and improving on our biological capabilities using technology since before recorded history. Improving our memory seems like it will eventually happen also.
I do completely understand why this would be a nightmare in practice. Governments would claim that they had the right to search it and it could still be stolen or accessed by unauthorized bad people.
I don't want to to be a part of people's recording in real life encounters against my consent. That black mirror episode of everything you see being recorded was a nightmare.
True. But it's still up to us whether to use those "memory enhancements" on other, non-consenting people.
