The future of insurance

In one episode of Netflix's dystopian science fiction television series insurance company carries around a little contraption that allows her to tap into people's memories. This highly useful device, when connected to a person's temples, gives Black Mirror, an investigator from an a video replay of his or her memories of any given time and place. This makes it easy for the investigator to probe an accident that her company's client – the insured – has been involved in, so she can ensure he has a strong case for a claim against the company that owns the self-driving vehicle that knocked him down. Don't worry, that's not a spoiler. What it is, is a sign that insurance technology has become sexy enough to have made its Netflix debut, and is poised to spread its influence in real lives as well.
