Delete leads us to an understanding of the digital age and how the inability to ‘forget’ has unforeseen and perhaps humiliating consequences in our daily lives. With Facebook now showing all of your past posts and discussion threads it is harder and harder to hope your mistakes will be forgotten. Viktor Mayer-Schönberger follows the important role of forgetting and how it has impacted our everyday lives both historically and currently. Along with an explanation of why information privacy rights and other legal fixes can’t help us. He concludes by giving us a simple solution.
