Assignment 1.3

Old controlling purpose: people need to think how we select useful information and put it in our memory.

New controlling purpose: I think the effective way of dealing with information is trying to preserve personal experience in a flood of information, no matter what shame and forgetting are involved in our memory.

Revised introduction

In the essay “Shame and Forgetting in the Information Age” by Charles Baxter, he seems to make people think how to control our memory more effectively in the information era. In modern age, industrial development has caused prodigious amounts of information. For this reason, increased information not only threatens the value of personal experience but also it causes shame from the anxiety of forgetting. I think the effective way of dealing with information is trying to preserve personal experience in a flood of information, no matter what shame and forgetting are involved in our memory.
