I’m certainly not the first to realise or write about this effect but doing this really struck home how powerful things like Street View and geo-tagged Flickr will be as remembering tools. Not just remembering things you’ve got pictures of, but the things implied and stirred by the pictures. So they’re not just tools for locating yourself or your objects, but for locating your memories and exchanging them with others.
