Very interesting read. We are constantly updating our local memex either virtually or physically. And it’s fun to compare and contrast with others about what they learn or prioritize!
Definitely feel like AI might blend the two for us and wonder what that does to to local curation process for ourselves.
Fascinating article! Really got me thinking about different settings in which the framework can be applied - I think it would apply to private databases that we interact with - social media newsfeeds might represent a local memex curated by an algorithm that searches for relevant content in the global memex (all posts of the relevant site) for us; this makes me wonder whether "AI" will be our personal curator creating a local memex for us as the amount of information on the global memex (both the public internet and every private database) increases
For sure - where I'm headed is to take about algorithmically served content, how that may influence what information we default to processing, etc. Coming soon!
Fantastic read as always. Love the drawings and the idea of a Memex now so much more expanded by the internet.
My local memex consists of my physical books, journals, notes, folders and so on. My global memex is of course my phone. It makes me think of the sentimental values of the local memex. Though I’ve read those books already, I often like to display my favorite ones on the shelf as they represent a part of my identity. And then local memex also turns into decoration.
I would say, your phone is a component of the global memex (your way to access), and I love how you can immediately identify your local memex, and how it things that are especially prominent within it find its way to other parts of your life (like decoration!).
