So since I discovered I've gotten old, and since technology has gone through such a metamorphosis in the last 10 years or so, I find that I am in possession of some objects and life experiences that seem to have been obliterated in the media revolution.
Music that came and went and then hit kaput, never to be transferred to digital. Sometimes I think I'm the only person left who knew it ever existed? Memories, people, times that are undergoing a rather drastic historical revisionism, or almost forgotten. What if I am nearly the last person who remembers? What do I do with it?
All kinds of things from real life experiences with relatives born the 19th century, to living through and in the last 60+ years America and other countries undergoing rapid undocumented conversions.
I'd like to leave behind some truth and reality. It is said that history is written by the victors, but I have none of that. I have a history of those who were not victorious, the life of a fringe person with an outsiders view who never swam in the mainstream, but witnessed and has connections to things that will not be remembered if I don't pass it down.
But I don't know how? Or where?
I post this here as this is a website of some older people who might have similar leanings, and most of the internet is a place of young people with no memory nor interest in what came before them. But one day, it will matter.
Thoughts?
