“Nishant Batsha tries to remember exactly he did exactly one year ago and finds that digital records don’t add up to a complete memory.” - × × ×
“Do I know what I did a year ago? Almost. A story, buttressed by bits and bytes of my day, may have to suffice. This isn’t a comfortable way of accessing my past; digital data is neither literary nor clear. It doesn’t gently lounge with nostalgia and tea-dipped madeleines; instead, it’s organized in search engines, records, and bullet points. And yet, I remain. Here to write. My sterile, my fragmentary, my memory.” #цифровая_история - × × ×
