With the launch of new site after new site in 2014, it’s been a fas­ci­nat­ing time to watch dig­i­tal media try to fig­ure itself out.

Researchers found that peo­ple undergo a kind of “dig­i­tal amne­sia” when review­ing past posts, believ­ing their own events as they’ve been writ­ten on social media sites.
