Questions
1) how many times have you download the same object because it is easier to download it again than to look it up in your computer? 2) do you have idea what exactly are there on the clouds that you are using? 3) do you know what is happening on the cloud beyond the objects you put there?
Problems
we own more and more digital objects, but we are losing our ability to manage them and find them;
we tend to have more and more space to store these objects, but we don't archive them

Associated Milieu|Technical Individual
human individuality finds itself more and more disengaged from the technical function by the construction of technical individual but it creates actually a malaise, because human, who always searches to be technical individual no longer has a stable place next to the machine: he becomes servant of machine or organiser of the technical ensembleGilbert Simondon(1958, 2012), Du Mode d'Existence des objects techniques, p.101
Self-Archiving
- Self-archiving Practice- Archiving Tool
1) with which we can annotate the objects we collected by adding different type of metadata into it;2) develop different sharing methods, e.g. Offline libraries
