Digital Memories: Exploring Critical Issues

Publication |
2009

Abstract

Data accumulation, protection and selection are increasingly important issues connected with the everydayness of humanity on a global scale. Digital identities produce individual digital memory that can be read out en masse as social digital identities.

This means that digital remembering, in addition to being chaotic or insignificant collecting of data, can have economic or political impact on contemporary societies and hence will be crucial for knowledge and power distribution in the future.
