From Cave Paintings to Cloud Storage
A brief history of how humans have preserved memories, and why the digital yearbook is the next logical step.
Humans are the only species that obsessively documents its own existence. 40,000 years ago, we left handprints on cave walls in Indonesia. In the 1800s, we invented the Daguerreotype to freeze time on silver plates.
Every leap in technology has made memory keeping more accessible.
- The Print Era: Expensive, fragile, but tangible.
- The Social Media Era: Fast, public, but ephemeral and owned by corporations.
- The Yearbook Era: Collaborative, private, secure, and multi-media.
We are standing on the shoulders of giants. The Digital Yearbook isn't just an app; it is the modern cave wall. It is where we leave our handprints for the future to see.
