Photos, journalist, audio recordings, video, blogging, printing photos, making music, posting online etc…
How do you record certain events? Make a journal entry? Just keep it in your memory to yourself?
How do you trust you wont forget the small details that you know today?
How do you trust the security of your documented life? your journal, your printed photos?
You you like analogue or digital documentation? Do you store data on HHDs? (they have a ~30 year lifespan) Mdisk? Photos? Pen and Paper?
Childhood memories? How do you view these archives?
Do you even believe in documenting the events of your life? Is it important to you? The quicker you write down an event, the more emotion you can convey.
What do you do and don’t do?
A follow-up question on this topic, how often do you guys go back and check out these memories? Because I seemed to have developed an habit of clicking videos and photos but never checking them and when I check them after a long while, I literally have 0 memory of that scene.
I think It’s one thing to have these memories stored somewhere digitally and one thing to have them registered in our heads. It’s an odd feeling when you look a old video and feel “did I really do that?” Does anybody else relate to this?
