“…the author reminds us, [that Memory] is never neutral or value-free. We do not have instant recall–direct access to the facts as they were. Thus it is not just the future that brings change: the past, too, is always being altered, caught between an originating event and the impossibility of ever recapturing it.”

Then put that thought into a networked context where we believe (whether it be true or not) that we do in fact have direct access to the past, it presents some interesting fodder for further consideration.
