I think my profession has poisoned my brain. I just changed my profile picture and cover photo on Facebook, then hid the changes from my timeline (stuff like that is boring and I don't think it needs a place). However, as soon as I hid those changes, I thought about someone in 80 years (or some distant future date) trying to learn more about me and what if they really needed to know when I changed the photos?! Now they'd never be able to tell!!!!!
These are the kinds of tiny details that are meaningless to us now, but contribute a lot to understanding a person.
As to why anyone would be trying to learn more about me, I have no idea. My thought processes are just twisted all around by archiving.
That's so funny!
ReplyDeleteI do similar things too...usually analyzing something trying to figure out how I would catalog it, or getting annoyed at poor publication data on an item.
