Electronic Memory Palaces?
"What Cicero was able to take for granted we must at this point
discover. The scope of change in our everyday environments has outpaced
the accumulation of wisdom and craft that traditionally guided the
making of places; indeed, much of what was previously known has in haste
been set aside, leaving a blank slate. Worse yet, there are those who
would abandon the tangible world altogether in favor of a virtual reality
assembled in computer networks -- Memory Palaces dislodged from the earth
and inhabited by electronic speculations" (Lyndon
and Moore xii).
