Every time I share one of my own “memories” on Facebook I’m reminded of this bit from the brilliant short film “World of Tomorrow” (watch it on Netflix!):

It is how I am watching you now, Emily.
It is how we watch everything in your time.
Our more recent history is often just comprised of images of other people watching view-screens.
