Attention is the new album: memory in the age of the feed
Previous generations stored photos in albums and attention flowed to them naturally on rainy Sundays. This generation stores infinitely and attends never — the album survived; the Sunday didn't.
Looking closer
The competition for attention is industrial now, and personal memory fields no team: no push notifications, no engagement loops, no autoplay. The past loses by forfeit.
What follows
Resurfacing is memory's entry into the attention economy — one gentle, self-owned notification channel for your own life. Not a feed, a counterweight: thirty seconds, several times a day, reclaimed.
If you want the mechanism
