re: 'The Accidental Archivist: Criticism on Facebook, and How to Preserve It

 This is fine  (and dandy)  where there is a conversation to 'archive' if archive one  wants to do. but where is there a conversation?    ___



a conversation hardly exists  anywhere   (and certainly in fb there is a flattening out of any such  event .... )/hence 





  would one expect it to be different in a media that billions 'use' daily hourly? billions pressing billions of buttons going like like like like like like like ad infinitum .





however, the work continues| but in my view at least those artists, especially those that speak and write in languages in which they are able to understand one another,  are responsible for the failure of conversation to begin and continue



as one of the responsibilities of the artist is the teaching faculty



 to promote discussion among people, 'the' people 'the' populace...



those who think otherwise are simply promoting silence and the end of discourse
