I’m still musing about digital vs physical. Will the next generation form strong sentimental attachments to digital items? Let’s say a girl gets a cutely formatted HTML email (with neato graphics) from a guy who’s interested in her. She wants to keep it. She could store it in her mailbox forever, or (gasp) print it out to get a hardcopy. What does she do? In a box somewhere are dot matrix printouts of much of my college email. There was no other way for me to save it. But I wouldn’t have minded keeping it all online. Yet, it does seem more concrete to have the printouts. Somehow, though, deleting a batch of email and digital photos from a boyfriend who has spurned you doesn’t have as much oomph as igniting pieces of paper that are no longer palatable into raging flames. Product Idea: a web site that lets you upload files and electronically torch them with animated special effects.
