We live in very interesting times in a very unusual world. Not only are people committing novel crimes using technology that most of us don't even have access to yet, but they're making their mark on history at the same time. From a complete nobody to filling several pages of search results (all containing lovely descriptions of exactly what porn movie he was watching at the time) within a day or two.
The combination of the weird world we live in, the media's insatiable desire to report it, and the collection and indexing of all this information on the Internet could very well affect you the next time you do something silly. I'd suggest watching your step, lest your future employer, friend, or romantic partner type your name into a search box.
