I'm fascinated by stories of lost data. I wonder what is it that we're really losing? I can't tell, but there must be something. I lost my USB drive that had years of files on it last year. I don't even know what I lost at this point. Has my life changed? Has the meaning in my life changed? What does it mean for society if it doesn't mean much for individuals?
Does anyone have any recommendations on stuff I can read on the topic?
- fsagx 3y agoA few years ago, when trying to get my father in law into the (state-run, not VA) veteran's home, we had to have records of his service. I was surprised that he had kept and that I could still find in his house all of the original paperwork from when he was discharged in 1954. That made everything much easier than it might otherwise have been. A lesson for me on keeping ones own data.
