In this book, the leading international scholars of memory studies synthesize emerging social and cognitive science research on the impact of social media and the Internet on remembering and forgetting. They address methodological issues in studying memory in the digital age and examine whether human memory is being threatened by a shift from a healthy reliance to a dependency on technology. The book aims to build theoretical and empirical foundations for further research to understand the consequences of the Internet and social media for memory representation, expression, and socialization in individuals and the implications for the family, community, and society.
