THE E-MEMORY REVOLUTION

摘要

When Stanford University obtained the Buck-minster Fuller archive, it heralded it as "one of the most extensive known personal archives in existence." Taking up 2000 linear feet of shelf space, including hundreds of thousands of pages and over 4000 hours of audio/video, Fuller's collection does indeed sound impressive. But Fuller, considered an eccentric for leaving behind such an enormous corpus, will be put to shame by the vast repository of electronic memories (e-mem-ories) created by the average Joe of the next generation. And these e-memory archives will take up a lot less shelf space.
