An interesting blog entry. I find this especially true in Boston. Thankfully the Common has benches but other than that, there's a lot of hostile architecture around to keep people from sitting anywhere.
Here’s is that email. Do you want to save it, or do you want to delete it? The memories of our conversations don’t work that way. I remember the awkward words of that early morning in a coffee house where I confessed my love to my wife. I think it took my an hour until I said it. I remember the awkwardness, two or three sentences, and the rest is a blur. Memory fades. Some things stay: words, emotions, pictures, when important enough, they stay. But forgetting is hard. What to forget? How to determine what is going to be boring? What programmer would want to make such decisions. This is why our programs don’t forget stuff. It’s too difficult.
I found this blog really interesting. It never occurred to me how much is really Saved on my computer. Saved in my emails. Saved in my pictures. Saved in my notes. Saved in my data. As the author says, this is not how our minds work-- and to an extent how relationships are meant to work. I think that is why I long to save things, *because* my memory is so fallible. Ephemeral things scare me. It's something to think about.
