What with the dystopian nature of many Black Mirror episodes, you’d be forgiven for not particularly wanting to get your hands on some of the tech on display in the show. Bikes you have to ride endlessly to earn “tokens” to keep the lights on? Constantly rating each other based on social interactions? No thanks.

But now, a new YouGov survey has discovered which pieces of Black Mirror technology we’d most like to adopt in our own lives and which we’d rather leave in Charlie Brooker’s fictional world. And the piece of tech we’d be most comfortable using? An implant allowing us to record everything we see and hear.

The technology comes from Season 1 episode The Entire History of You, set in an alternative reality in which people have implants recording everything they see and hear – memories that they can ‘rewind’ and rewatch. Nearly 3 in 10 people (29%) said they’d be willing to use this technology – despite the depressing ending of the episode, in which a man rips his implant out having discovered his wife’s affair.

21% said they’d use optical implants allowing you to see through someone else’s eyes or live forever in a virtual reality, 19% would be willing to use tech to spy on their kids, and 17% would be willing to use a “memory machine” enabling users including police and insurance companies to replay memories.
