I know numerous people who have ‘memory boxes’ where photos, old gig tickets, maybe even old bottle tops are kept inside as triggers to some memory they feel is worth keeping hold of. With something like this those experiences aren’t as tangible in my opinion.

I actually came up with something quite similar at university and played and played with the idea of developing it but essentially never did because I really thought it was too restrictive (being encased by technology in all it’s glory) to be classed ‘emotional’.

People will carry on to have shoe boxes full of crap that will hold more relevance emotionally than an electronic object ever will.

and in terms of design it should be just smaller!
