New history.

Sorry, another comment on something I saw on TED by Adam Ostrow this time. He was talking about that soon there will be 1 BILLION people globally on social media. And they have one thing in common. All will die!

He hypothesizes about the implications that will mean since we know that anything posted will last forever, somewhere. I thought about how profound that is and can be in my interests such as history and family history. Imagine having access to our ancestors from 100,200 years ago. Imagine our children, ggggchildren having access to our videos logs centuries in the future. I don't think, for the most part, it will affect our daily lives much. Sort of like a reality show having numerous cameras documenting our every move. After desensitizing ourselves to their presence they no longer exist, virtually.

Sometimes though having too much information is more dangerous than a scarcity. So creating a clarity for them in the future will be a mirror of what we have now to work through. After all reacting history, for Winston Smith, was a full time occupation.

Just something more for some of us to contemplate!
