Memories are becoming hyperlinks to information triggered by keywords and URLs. We are becoming ‘persistent paleontologists’ of our own external memories, as our brains are storing the keywords to get back to those memories and not the full memories themselves.

I thought this quote was very interesting and true. Keywords and tags have helped shaped what how we remember things and store memories. But not the full memories themselves, as the quote stated. This reminds people that maybe all these things that we do online don’t really play such a key role in our lives, since most of what we do online we can’t recall. This shows us that though social media and networking save images and key words it doesn’t really help relive these experiences.
