One of the most rewarding aspects of doing this (whatever this is) is when someone gets in touch about something unusual that I can then share with a wider audience. This is one of those videos. A chap called Mart sent me a tape stored away for sixty or so years by his relative.
This made me think about how so much of our history has been derived from the artefacts of the past. Objects can tell a story or at least act as a jumping off point for one.
We’re moving towards a time where people are able to live a full life, record hours of video, write journals, take pictures, read books, watch movies, listen to music and yet they'll leave nothing physical behind when they are gone. There's nothing to tell future generations they existed, it’s all in the cloud.
Then again, even if you were to give your children access to your photo stream - there are too many pictures for anyone to want to look through. That and the fact that most of the pictures are screen grabs, photos of food or receipts, that vacuum you saw in Costco and the weird mole on your back.
Then again, I needn't think about it too much, I’ll be dead, so stuff it - it’s someone else’s concern.
Take care and have a good week.
