On your computer, you don\u2019t ever really “take out the trash.” Data doesn\u2019t get picked up by a garbage truck. It doesn\u2019t decompose in a landfill.<\/p>\n

It just accumulates.<\/p>\n

And because space is becoming less and less of an issue — hard drive space keeps getting cheaper, and a lot of the apps we use have cloud storage anyway — deleting our files is a thing of the past.<\/p>\n

We become Digital Hoarders.<\/p>\n

But what happens when we dig up those old files from years ago? Those old emails from our boyfriend or girlfriend, those old digital photos of family, those long rambling journal entries?<\/p>\n

On this week’s podcast we talk to three researchers who all have different stories of digital hoarding, deleting, and recovering.<\/p>\n

Jack Cushman<\/a>, Judith Donath<\/a>, and Viktor Mayer-Sch\u00f6nberger<\/a> talk about the value of remembering, the value of forgetting, and what we trust to our machines.<\/p>\n
