Persistent Paleontology

All electronically mediated subjects act in ways that are increasingly paleontological. Facebook is a system with layers of geological history. The E-mail inbox is a rapidly expanding site of excavation which one must continually query. The newness of everything buries one's ability to reach it without digging.

Everyone has a persistent paleontologist. Everyone is now a paloonlogist, always going out to email, searching, digging up what you need. Finding what got buried before.
