The Virtue Of Hitting ‘Delete,’ Permanently
Evolving digital technology has provided a steady aid for people in their quest to remember virtually everything. Social networking sites remind you of friends’ birthdays, digital calendars send you reminders, and photos posted online preserve memories indefinitely.
But Viktor Mayer-Schonberger, author of Delete: The Virtue of Forgetting in the Digital Age, argues that now is the time to reintroduce our ability to forget. The indelible digital memory can be as unforgiving as it is helpful. Mayer-Shonberger suggests an expiration date for information.
Mayer-Shonberger talks about his book, Delete, with Neal Conan, and makes his case for why forgetting is essential.

During the Develop conference earlier this week, Edge Online editor Alex Wiltshire chaired a panel discussion on the close relationship between architecture and videogames, and here we have a recording of the full session for you to download.
The panel included Viktor Antonov, the art director behind Half-Life 2 and (the unfortunately on-hold) Arkane’s The Crossing, as well as a creative director and writer for animated feature films, Lionhead’s Rob Watkins, who has worked with architect Foster and Partners and was artist on Fable and Fable II, and Rory Olcayto, now features editor at The Architect’s Journal and once lead artist at developer Inner Workings in the late 90s. http://www.edge-online.com/features/edge-panel-architecture-and-videogames
