A couple of points I consider in relation to this are the affects on our brains in relying on platforms/our devices to store our memories for us; sometimes this seems to negate the skill of/need to remember things ourselves, other times the act of posting something forms part of our memory, or assists it...

...Secondly I have for a while thought about "digital hoarding", some of this can be beneficial or "nice to reminisce", but otherwise can hinder us in moving on.

i can definitely agree with opposing over reliance on tech in general, but even with a perfect, clear memory i think there's still quite a difference between sitting down and just thinking about things vs picking up an album of printed photos and leafing through it

thinking about the hoarding question. the issue pops up to me too fairly frequently, but for now i've hit the character limit in the comments lmao. i think i'll dial it back right now and go back to work, then after i've sat on the thoughts some more i'll construct a proper reply
