We warn ourselves that what enters the cloud will remain there forever. This is true: the Internet is unforgettable. But entering the cloud is not our memory. Memories of childhood, early romantic memories, memories of traumatic memories. Many of the images and videos that we put in the cloud are different. In the memory and photography study of 2013, participants took a digital camera and visited the museum. Researchers instructed the subject to take specific pictures of specific objects rather than other objects. One day later, the participants showed the combination of the previous day tour image and the new image. The goal is to see if you can distinguish between looking image, captured image, new image.

I feel that such a memory box is becoming a relic. As technology takes over our lives, memories and images are no longer in depleted cardboard boxes, and they do not seem to be present in clouds. These clouds provide us with a secure security illusion and provide an attractive commitment to always keep our most precious and intimate moments. For parents who have lost their loved ones, this promise is very encouraging and has the opportunity to share and protect memories that make up the child's short lived. By sharing these images and narratives with the world, we can show that they are here and exist in the world. Shame and taboo have fraudulent power, but our children exist and they will be remembered
