"In the meantime, as all of us stumble over the challenges of living in a world without forgetting, we need to learn new forms of empathy, new ways of defining ourselves without reference to what others say about us and new ways of forgiving one another for the digital trails that will follow us forever."
-Professor Jeffrey Rosen
The Web Means the End of Forgetting - NYTimes.comJeff's thesis is better, but Rosen drops MANY genius bombs in this essay. A good read. I hadn't even heard of some of the websites he listed. I won't ruin it for you.
Scary stuff though! Enjoy.
