Hold on a second : social media and the resurgence of documenting one's life

Abstract

The notion of chronicling, whether it be facilitated through journal, diary, log, or other means, has helped to map the past. Today, social media and other digital platforms are helping to do the same for the future. Such technologies are quickly reworking the landscapes of our lives. These tools can be used to promote introspection and offer a degree of accessibility that is unparalleled . Hold on a Second discusses the theory behind this concept, while simultaneously exploring this idea in action.
