technology

So many technologies exist to pull us into the past at the same time as we are effectively time travelling into the future. Travel and communication delays are almost inconsequential in human terms in today's world. Add to that the vast storage networks that are collecting ever more granular information about each and everyone of us and you have the ability to time travel backwards in a way that's hard to fathom.

I was thinking about how we can record or download shows for later consumption and how the storage of this information is akin to travelling back in time. As the information capture becomes better there will be a view of the past that will go back to the beginning of our current age and before will be essentially "dark." Like times before any written texts in our pre-wired world but with unbelievably more rich dimensions available.
