Memory has dimensions… like a tree. And place is the root of memory. So, too, feeling. In modern contexts, the place and feeling of a computer screen has too few dimensions to support the forms of memory that are absolutely natural and imperative to our development. More bluntly, screen time is damaging not merely our memory, but its capacity to produce natural dimensionalities that include place, deep relation, creative engagement (the opposite of spectating)… and many other faculties. Our awareness is emergent from relations with memory; and too many of our modern contexts are toxic to the diverse anatomies that our memory requires to thrive and develop.
