What
does it mean to be human in the digital age? How might it reshape the
way we create meaning and values? A panel of experts from across the
Humanities and the cultural sector examine how the digital age has
shaped, and will continue to shape, the human experience and the
Humanities. To see the full lecture with all speakers see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eq51l...
Speaker Emma Smith (Fellow and Tutor in English, University of Oxford)
In
2005, two neurologists diagnosed a new modern malaise - hyperthymestic
syndrome, or the inability to forget. Emma's talk considers this as a
particular problem of the internet age, and, contrary to claims that we
should be preserving and archiving more and more data, makes a case for
the creative possibilities of digital obsolescence.
