There are only scraps of information to be found for most of them. <br /><br />And thank god for that. I shudder to think how much information about me and my generation will be available to my great-grandchildren. The poor bastards will have not just birth, marriage and death certificates, but blog posts, discussion board comments, Facebook updates, Tweets and a huge great load of digital shiite to dig through.

We value what they saved because of the window to their lives which is provided by those materials. <br /><br />Future historians will want to understand the role of technology in our lives, how we expressed ourselves in this new, very not-private way, and how we used it to communicate within our spheres of influence; as well as the details of how we commuted to work, what we thought about, and so forth. <br /><br />Also, very interesting is the public expression of grief in a culture which does not have a good ritual for dealing with death. The posts to people's online accounts on Facebook for instance, after they have died are a surprising reminder that despite the overwhelming and rapid changes in our society today which arguably push us further apart from each other, we are still human and long for our fellow humans.kathyfpr2https://www.blogger.com/profile/03613733542823526982noreply@blogger.com
