The Overly Documented Life post

It took me a little while to really understand why we were assigned to read this article. While this article was extremely interesting to read, I was slightly confused. About five minutes or so after finishing the article, I realized why it had been assigned to read. While reading the article and especially after reading the article, I found myself having conversations in my head about this very interesting topic. I was thinking about how this idea of recording every moment in my life would affect me and the people around me. I was basically having an entire theoretical dinner conversation in my head. This is when I had my “Aha” moment. I realized that this is the point of an inquiry paper. It is to present a very simple and open ended question to spark conversation and deep thought. Even though the initial question of this article was based around our memory and if we have warped ideas of what happened in the past, I found myself questioning deeper ideas as far as even what kinds of fights in relationships are beneficial to a relationship. An inquiry article, as seen from this paper, can be extremely interesting to read and I imagine even more enjoyable to write. Reading this article and thinking about the meaning of it made me excited to start working on our inquiry paper in class.
