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 dem floppy  disc, memory cards , pen drives  etc. should i call it funny or strange that man trusts dez metallic n plastic chips more than his grey cells, his own brain. cheap computer storages, powerful processors , internets has made remembering a norm- at a huge cost to all of us.
the hard stored digital information never goes away, even when we wish it should. resulting in PERMANENCY OF PAST IN THE PRESENT.
consider this : today on YOur computers you have retained tons of rough drafts, yrs of email traffics, thousands of digital snapshots  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, G-mails,yahoo messenger n many other chat sites that are by default saving all your conversations. though you delete them from inbox da next tym u say HI to the prsn all da past chats appear again . lolz ... dis is wat u hd wished for TECHNOLOGY.

MAN MADE MACHINES BT DNT 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 frnds... always remember the importance of forgetting .
