I wonder how such a thing would affect people; currently, people change their memories depending on how they feel and what's happened recently and what they hope or expect for the future and how they remembered it the last time (I'm not convinced this is inherently a bad thing). Being unable to do that, being constantly confronted with recorded history differing with our own recollections; what would be the consequences of that?

There's at least one Black Mirror episode about this premise. If I remember correctly, some others also touch this. It's worth while to watch a couple episodes. They're not all great, but many are good food for thought if you like to philosophize about the impact of technology on our future.

That's a pretty interesting episode, S01E03 for those who are curious. The Electric Dreams series also has an interesting episode on this (S01E05), but focusing more on virtual reality than re-living your own past (although one can easily imagine a VR of your own memories).
