In the past the storage and retrieval of information  was limited. So if people want to remember they used to written down the things or they have to depend of human memory. As the time past, more and the more could me recorded, but retrieving the data in analogue world was still difficult.

Power and time:

There is a loss of power, as information about us is duplicated and reused , with or with out permission , and even negation of time . Among the issues are two terrifying possibilities, that perfect memory threatens reasons, abstract thought and the ability to make decision in the present, and that the reasons for retaining data now may seem sensible, but what if it should fall into the wrong hands in the future. Having clearly and concisely built a picture of the problem, form the early days of human history to the present, Mayer then turns to some potential solutions.

* Information privacy issues.

*Digital rights management.

*Effectively tuning search engines.

That is say, every piece of information, from files on your hard drive, thought your email and even your search terms and online purchase history is given an expiration date.  Up to this point we have been taken in, we are willing  to overlook the odd overstatement–information retrieval is easy for example.
