I’m going to start with some verses
bertolt brecht questions of a worker te
you go to the seven doors who
built in the books listed the
names of the kings drag the kings
the big blocks of stone and
Babylon destroyed so many times who
he built it up again
the night the wall was finished
Chinese construction workers were where Roma
the big one is full of arcs of
triumph who chose them
the young alejandro conquered india
he only refers to the Gauls
I did not carry even a
cook felipe second cried when sinking
your fleet
I do not cry nobody else with him said second
won the seven year war who
he won
besides I want to talk about the
memory but not from the memory of the iphone
and the ipad and the computer but from
the memory of the people that the beings
humans
that memory that is becoming increasingly
more fragile with the years of that
memory I want to talk and before speaking
her
I want to ask you what you think
when I say two per second
2 per second are probably going to think
that the one that has something to do with the
cinema to a certain extent yes maybe not what
interesting
the awful thing is that they are two people two
human beings that die every second in
the world are around 60 million in
year
what is impressive is that when they die
the people leave with them the memory
his memories
their testimonies go away absolutely
disappear
Of course, the big ones do not disappear
memories of famous people of the
powerful of the intellectuals
highlights of the artists of the
athletes
but the great memory of the species
human
disappears with every human being that dies
it’s a drama it ‘s a terrible drama
people live and enjoy suffers from aging
dies and nothing remains in two
generations are forgotten you can
do something against oblivion is possible
do something and I think it’s very
important to think about the following never
before like today there has never been the
technology that makes it possible for us to
preserve the memory of people
It has never been less expensive than today
you can store all the memory of each
one of us of all beings
humans of the world and throw it into a
platform leave it installed and avoid
Let the memory go, how are we going?
today the memory of the human species is
we go like water between our hands like
they say a song out there
then you can close not only
we are going to stay with the memory
bear of the powerful or influential
we also want to stay and this is what
that I propose with the memory of all
I invite that rescue of memory
how can you do
I want to take very simple steps I want
convene for example the writers to
teach him mainly people
older adult who statistically is
closer to departure
statistically the rest of the
population to teach them to write their
memories but not eternal memories and
very long
we are in the 21st century those memories of
ventura pages more maximum the
writers can have it shared with
the elderly in a community in
the commune in a municipality in in the
universities the squares teach them that
what is important when writing the
memories what are the issues that
perhaps they are the most important in
around which must turn that
but they could also do it
the filmmakers teach people
older adult or be available to
them to capture those images at
best of the neighborhood where they live may
spent their childhood listening to them show it
We are walking through the places that he loves
and so can the
journalists through a simple
audio recording pick up these
memories and the painters also the
painters can do it can do it
all of them to prevent memory
it slips away like water between
hands can be done through the
Writing can also be made to
through the recordings you can
do through a recording of
Audio
the painting the artists in general
could contribute in this sense
you imagine as a dedicated
to this obviously not all the time not
wait but dedicated to this with a
collaborative cooperation plan
rescue conservation of
memory where the artists are
especially with older adults
with the idea that of a city of a
village of the commune of a whole country
of a continent
I do not want this memory to go away
disappear forever the story of
humanity because there are memories that
they also matter although they are not the
the famous or the powerful
I think you could do this
share this experience and raise that
information to the big cloud from which
we all talk and I would be insisting a lot
I could see these images in the cloud
the pdf with texts in the cloud images
of painting pictures the cloud stories in
the big cloud and one could go down and know
in 50 years plus 70 more years to the
people in 2017 as they were the
old people from that time where they lived
that they felt and would always be
available
I would you all of us
available for future
generations we had not lived in vain
in the sense that memory always
punish and teach the human being is a
small being within this universe already
the best is not worth much but if we
We know that every human being is worth and is worth
a lot
that would have to rescue what I think
I want to insist with this has never been
so technologically feasible to do
this is simpler than there is and not
it’s expensive and would involve collaboration
between what artists are and
population
I think this is something that is well worth
worth being taken into account but that
through this incorporating the image
the images to the global platform
we would see a big step imagine yourself
an instant that today you could
reach truth before the computer of
terminal
select the platform x memory
human and love and meet the
faces of relatives of people who do not
they know but maybe they were playing
an important role in your city ​​and that
they lived in 1917 or imagine if something else
incredible in 1817
you can imagine or even before in
1517 or before the occurrence of the
called between quotation marks discovery
from America
have the vision but they came to
have the vision of those who
they found what came with
it happened what they suffered what they expected
and so we realize that it is
possible today for the first time with having
conserve and cultivate and leave towards the
future
this memory store them there not
they occupy space since everyone could
at any time of his life
go down by city by street by town
per country and listen to those people
They are no longer with us because they do not
we must forget that countries are
integrated of course for people
who live in it live in them but
also by those who left who
they left and they are no longer with
US
that presence
be aware of it is very
important to know how were those who
they preceded us and problems had
who dreamed what their frustrations their
fear your fears your satisfactions
they fell in love were called hated it
they were frustrated with the country where
they lived or that country fulfilled its
expectations
Frank Felix all the questions that
they could be there that they could leave
as a legacy for all of us it would be
a great contribution to what are the
countries to what their identity
I believe that this is fully possible
both for technological reasons
not for something also very simple
because no matter what position
we have within a certain
society
we all count many times
