Now Our Memories Can Live Forever

By Evan Carroll on August 17, 2011 in Archival, Video

Jonathan Good over at 1000Memories shared his TEDx San Francisco talk with me today. He did a great job presenting the vision of a future where people are remembered for more than their name, but for their story and experiences. This is actually one of the primary reasons that I’m concerned with the preservation of personal digital content. If you have a few minutes, you should watch his presentation.
