As identities become increasingly tied to supposed 'friends' on Facebook, Twitter, and the like, the value of our own individual memories seems only to grow. Our everyday memories -- of the places we go, things we find, photos we take and handwritten notes we write -- come to define the notable world that each one of us lives in, while also demonstrating where that world intersects with the social identity we project. This panel will explore how preserving the YOU is not only entirely possible with new mobile technologies, cloud-based applications and capturing devices, but necessary.
