Machines can only remember what remains.

The popular story about the internet is that it remembers everything.
My experience has been the opposite.

Websites disappear. Forums vanish. Domains expire. Entire conversations fade away.

What remains becomes the record.

Abby Smith Rumsey on "When We Are No More: How Digital Memory is Shaping Our Future"

Lawrence Nault- Stone & Signal Feb 12

The last century stored its atrocities in ink, paper, and film.
You couldn’t delete them quietly.
Today we document everything —
inside systems owned by people who profit from the chaos.
The internet made memory a battlefield.
The digital world makes history editable.
Don’t expect another 60 years of stability.
Hope for six.
If stability ever returns….

In der letzten Folge unserer Digital Memory Reihe sprechen wir mit Steffen Jost, der die Abteilung Digital & Publishing am Jüdischen Museum Berlin leitet. Es geht darum, wie der analoge Museumsbesuch mit digitalen Tools verbinden kann, wo die Herausforderungen liegen und wie das Museum der Zukunft aussehen könnte. Auch KI als Tool zur individuellen Vertiefung eines Museumsbesuchs spielt eine Rolle. Hört rein!

#digitalmemory: "We used to have #forums. And forums had one massive advantage: you could find things.
Search actually worked because the content was structured for retrieval. If someone asked a question that had been answered before, you could link them to it…
Then Slack happened, Discord, Teams, and we all decided that #realtimechat was simply better: More like how humans “naturally communicate” (as if there’s anything natural about the internet itself.)"

The Death of Community Memory

I recently spent forty minutes searching through Slack trying to find a technical decision — made eight months ago — about an app that 60% of my creative life depends on...I eventually gave up and just asked someone to explain it again, which they did, poorly, because they didn’t quite remember either.
