As time goes on, and more and more of our lives are observed by and mediated by technology, the data about us will pile up. The data will be sorted - by others, by us. But these recordings have another purpose: they can bring back memories of the dead.
I don't have a recording of my father's voice. I don't have video of him. I have photographs, and some cherished examples of his handwriting. But, more than anything, I wish I had a recording of his voice. Perhaps it's because the ears truly are the window to the soul.
