“I felt obliged to record this lot but I think what I really ought to do is put them onto a timeline or something, maybe a big floaty map thing. An 'obsolescence map', a visual way of tracking the arrival and the departure of media and computing technologies. Once adopted they feel so solid and permanent but they're really so ephemeral and we're losing them fast. Should we be preserving these second-order technologies? Peripherals, buses, storage, printing, input, output? Will we miss them in forty or fifty years time if we don't?”
