Yeah, this is what we think...
BBC NEWS | Technology | The Tech Lab: Charles Stross: "We've had agriculture for about 12,000 years, towns for eight to 10,000 years, and writing for about 5,000 years. But we're still living in the dark ages leading up to the dawn of history."
Charles Stross says we (humans) are about to lose the bad habit, and even the capability, of forgetting.
I see Charles lives in Edinburgh - maybe he would like to drop in on Dropping The network Out Of The Dakota...
Other thoughts... Clearly the remembering and the forgetting have a close relationship. Would you prefer to forget? Is it more painful to remember? Is it an open door to tyranny if we forget? And of course, what is true?
