Wasting Time on the Internet Chapter 3

Our browsing history may become a new way for us to catalog our likes, our dislikes, and everything in between. For us currently, technology has become a way to signify more of our personality traits and then be able to regurgitate it all back to us in waves or phases. In my personal experience, the whole idea of keeping an archive or an algorithm falls purely on sites like Twitter, Facebook, and Youtube. Youtube has this interesting way of pulling us in and feeding us what we enjoy as opposed to what we want to see mainly due to what our interests are. Now on to the more archival ideal of the chapter and how it is beneficial for us to archive things as well as preserving them as history. For instance, we remember the past and we document it through video, photographs, even drawings. These factors pretty much serve as a catalyst for many experiences and opportunities in life. One suck photo I like a lot and that is the one I took in high school at Dylan’s Candy Bar in Manhattan.
