REMEMBERING v/s FORGETTING.

There was a time when remembering information was costly and time consuming, and forgetting was a natural part of human being. but then here comes the digital age. age of electronic devices. in the digital age opposite is true. in this age remembering things comes cheap, we call them floppy, disc, memory cards , pen-drives, etc. should i call it funny or strange that man trusts these metalic n plastic chips more than his grey cells, his own brain. cheap computer storage, powerful processors , internet has made remembering a norm- at a huge cost to all of us.
the hard stored digital information never goes away, even wen we wish it should. resulting in PERMANENCY OF PAST IN THE PRESENT.
consider dis : today on your computers you have retained tones of rough drafts, years of e-mail traffics, thousands of digital snap-shoots. WHY ? you need them? NO. By contrast deciding what to keep is costly n saving things is cheap. so just click SAVE.
today you curse facebooks,gmails,yahoo messnegers n many other chat sites that are by default saving all your conversations. though you delete them from inbox the next time u say HI to the person all the past chats appear again . lolz ... this is what you had wished for TECHNOLOGY.

MAN MADE MACHINES BUT DONT LEARN HOW TO CONTROL THEM.

BUT it was worth remembering the value of forgetting. forgetting permits us to transcend details and generalise  to see forest and not just a tree. " decaying leaves allow new growth" forgetting affords us a second chance to rise above all our past mistakes. forgetting teaches us the skill of forgiving too.

so friends... always remember the importance of forgetting .
