Remembrance of Things Lost
- gumby 12y agoI suspect this is the perspective of someone born before 1980, so photos and documents feel rare and precious. My kid is cavalier about his photos -- they are essentially transient, like a verbal remark is. So he will also grow up with lost memories. In addition the sheer volume (look at that Flickr art piece) means that most stuff will be lost in the haystack. In other words: the more things change, the more they stay the same!
