过去、现在和新兴的记忆技术是记忆研究的重要关注点。个人和集体记住的内容部分取决于正在发生根本性变化的记忆技术和社会技术实践。我们确定了有关数字记忆捕获、存储和检索发展的具体问题。现在正在做出的决定可能会产生深远的影响。系统是基于模型和隐喻来设计的，其中人类记忆的工作方式与计算机非常相似。我们从科学技术研究 (STS) 以及人机交互 (HCI) 和计算机支持的协作工作 (CSCW) 的基础上提出了批判性观点。我们认为，虽然这些进展对于记忆研究具有重要意义，但更重要的是记忆研究需要提醒和启发设计者什么是可能的和有用的，并帮助扩大对这些系统所基于的人类记忆的理解。
Past, present and emerging technologies of memory are important concerns for memory studies. What is remembered individually and collectively depends in part on technologies of memory and socio-technical practices, which are changing radically. We identify specific concerns about developments in digital memory capture, storage and retrieval. Decisions are being made now that may have far-reaching consequences. Systems are being designed based on models and metaphors in which human memory works much like the computer. We bring to this discussion a critical perspective from science and technology studies (STS) and a grounding in human—computer interaction (HCI) and computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW). We argue that, while these developments are significant for memory studies research, even more important is the need for memory studies to remind and inspire designers of what is possible and useful, and help expand the understanding of human memory on which these systems are based.
