Sci-fi imagines data storage
- eesmith 8y ago"In "Voyager," Chakotay wrote down memories of a lover before he could forget her ... Why 21st century storage is superior ... Books are wonderful, but there are only so many you can carry them before you herniate a disc" Except that in 'Unforgettable' it's established that the alien species emits a pheromone which causes other species to forget them after a few hours, and at the end there's a computer virus which removes all information about them from the system. 21st century storage doesn't prevent a computer virus from wiping memory. Books/written media are impervious to that attack.
