Abstract
This paper addresses the research of digital media users' attitudes towards digital storage and online mediated memory. Digital storage leads to the replacement of analog information by computer numerical coding and dematerializes media text and photos by converting data from analogue to digital. Main foci are on the examination of the digital media users' behavior in relation to the sharing of their own memories and culture, as well as their relation to the possibility of creating joint memories, common identity and collective culture. The paper also points to a culture of forgetting that accompanies the process of memory mediating.
Highlights
Digital storage, which is not durability-oriented, is associated with a completely new dimension of memory erasure, which leads to the replacement of analog information by computer numerical coding.“In the process of mediating of human memory to external media (HDD, flash, cloud, social network), we are simultaneously delegating a part of our humanity, because virtual reality in anthropological and sociological terms represents a technical means for indirect production of reality, which establishes full control over man and his actions” [1]
The paper points to a culture of forgetting that accompanies the digital storing of memory
The first hypothesis is confirmed, as the results of the research have shown that there is a connection between the attitudes of the respondents on the issue that sharing of individual memory of social media users leads to the formation of joint memory
Summary
Digital storage, which is not durability-oriented, is associated with a completely new dimension of memory erasure, which leads to the replacement of analog information by computer numerical coding.“In the process of mediating of human memory to external media (HDD, flash, cloud, social network), we are simultaneously delegating a part of our humanity, because virtual reality in anthropological and sociological terms represents a technical means for indirect production of reality, which establishes full control over man and his actions” [1]. Digital storage, which is not durability-oriented, is associated with a completely new dimension of memory erasure, which leads to the replacement of analog information by computer numerical coding. Digital storage is associated with an entirely new dimension of memory erasure, which leads to the replacement of analog information by computer numerical coding. Digitality is the most prominent feature of new media that dematerializes media text by converting data from analogue to digital, allowing all kinds of mathematical operations. As “a digital content that can be broadcasted on the Internet or computer network” [2], allow downloading and handling of large amounts of information, as well as its storage in a very limited space. The power of convergence of digital media can be demonstrated through the emergence of the Internet in the context of its powerful function contained in computerinformation technologies and broadband communications networks
