I wonder what it would be like to remember every minute of all of my yesterday’s.
Is every one of my yesterday memories stored somewhere in my brain?
I wonder what it would be like, if it were possible, to have my memory dumped right before my final shutdown.
How many flash drives would be needed to store all of my yesterday memories? Would there be gigabytes, terabytes, or maybe even petabytes worth of data?*
Can my yesterday's memories be restored vividly crisp and relevant? Or will these copies be dulled by short circuited minutes of needless fretful worry and mindless clutter?
I wonder if I would be okay with having others wander through my yesterday memories after I am but a faded yesterday memory.

I am participating in the A-Z April Challenge.
Today’s letter is Y for Yesterday’s memory bytes.
Mine will be stored in the cloud...I'll be floating around with the angels!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds heavenly :)
DeleteIf it did work like that, where our memories were stored so vividly, I would probably spend all my time in front of the computer watching the good parts of the past. And doing nothing else. Nana mentioned the cloud---I haven't even figured that one out yet. Not the real ones, the computer ones. LOL
ReplyDeleteSo many of my memories have blurred with time. I would like to be able to recall some of the good times, especially when the kids were young.
DeleteFor the most part, I like what Chad and Jeremy said: "But that was yesterday, and yesterday's gone..."
ReplyDeleteChad and Jeremy were right, but sometimes I wish I could at least remember a few more of the details.
DeleteThere's a guy at a university somewhere who's trying to upload his life. And his graduate students are doing the same thing. They wear these cameras that take pictures every couple seconds, and they upload these things to a computer somewhere.
ReplyDeleteAll I thought as I watched that was, NO. I'd rather keep my memories to myself.
Well that does seem a bit extreme, but kinda cool too. Maybe a day in the “life of…” might be all I could tolerate, though.
DeleteVery interesting! I'd be all for it as long as we could only remember the good parts :)
ReplyDeleteThe good parts and the sweet parts and the tender parts and the funny things the kids said parts.
