- I’ve been thinking about how [[🌲 life data as an identity graph with time as an axis]] and how time can be framed as an *axis of our identities*. - Thinking about our “data”, just a couple of days ago I wrote about how [[{1.1c1d1} your search and browsing histories build a resonance calendar]] (several months ago, I wrote privately about the same experience on [[2024-05-12 tumblr is a resonance calendar|tumblr]]). - This ability to revisit different “coordinates” of time and space in our digital environments is monumental – I don’t think we’re talking about it enough, like archival implications, cultural preservation, personal narratives… - I think a huge part of my frustration with ““tech”” is that most of this data is kept in opaque, proprietary frameworks or whatever – I don’t have enough tech knowledge to articulate this. - Basically: SOMEONE can see where I was at on June 1, 2015 at 11:47 a.m. They can see whether I walked or drove there, what songs I heard on the way, how much money I spent while I was out, who I was chatting with, etc, etc. - I SHOULD BE ABLE TO USE THAT DATA. - That data shouldn’t be siloed in different apps that use it for advertising or user-tracking; it should be *my data first and foremost* – if not my data *only*.
