As social media classify and rank our ‘memories’, what will this mean for the way we remember?

There are few things more intimately personal than our memories. However, as more of human experience becomes mediated through social media, memories have become a significant resource for social media companies to exploit. Drawing on their new book Social Media and the Automatic Production of Memory, David Beer and Ben Jacobsen explore how a social media logic has intertwined itself into our memories and the implications this has for how we remember individually and collectively.
