week 10 reading review (all)

“I have a golden fish memory ”. We use this phrase to mean short memory, or low memorable ability. I am not sure how bad or good memory golden fish has, but we all have memorable ability. Not only using our brain, we try to keep a memory in other ways. First effort would be writing on characters, and today we have many recording media deice, such as videos, photos etc… This author call these memory stored in media memory is”the presence of hard evidence” . When we look, rad or watch these, they recall us our memory clearly and vividly. Sometimes they bring back hidden memory we totally forgot.
Author says these Medias can be use as personal memories, but also public memory. This is because media is developed through social activities, and has social influences. Also it is possible to create symbol or icon of a particular matter among people. Finally this author argues that too much memory depending on these media is dangerous; he use “lack or lose”.
Like as others, when I go travel, I take a lot of photos and videos, because I want to keep the scene which I see as memory. Even if I think so beautiful, I am not sure I can remember exactly same view later without photos. This is the best reason why people use media devices to keep their memories. This is pretty personal memory, but also I have a another experience; when I head an old song with my friend who was born different place, the song reminds us similar memory of old days.
I have not felt “lack or loose ” of memory by using media device, but this is the evidence how much I am lazy to memorize each thing on my brain as depending on medias.

Here is another thought i have.It is clear that media has pretty powerful realationship with our memory. This meas, as we depend on them more and more instead of mour pure memory, it will become much easily to control our social memory and identity by medias. This is pretty scarey.
