Chapter 4. The Artifacts of Your Life
You may not realize it but you’re the exact cause of this cultural shift to digital things. You, along with millions of others, are creators and collectors, curating a rich collection of digital things around you.
It’s easy to assume that your digital things aren’t significant. After all, they take up virtually no physical space and you don’t see them everyday. But as you live an increasingly digital life, this collection grows. It’s more than just computer data, it’s a set of artifacts that has the potential to chronicle your life.
Throughout this chapter, envision yourself at the center of a digital universe of content. We’ll explore each part of it, how much you have, and where it’s stored.
