I think managing memories rhetorically comes naturally to all-as we are thinking beings. We all make the decision to manage particular memories by either keeping them in material form, digitally and or mentally. We all make the choice in which form we decide to keep them and how long we want to keep them for. Usually the memories we decide to keep- no matter where they are stored- tend to be correlated to the intensity of the feeling of the event. As time passes, the intensity of that feeling may decrease and that’s when we update our stored memories. It’s interesting to find that photographs and digital forms tend to linger longer until we come across them and if the felling is not intense anymore we discard them and or alter them.
I think having expiration dates on information on the web can be a disadvantage to our society as a whole because the purpose is to have this information accessible to us at all times either to learn from or use for the purpose of creation of new things. Having expiration dates on articles, images, digital information etc. will reduce the exponential growth of creation of new information.
This far, what I tend to delete from the web are blog posts that I created for the purpose of school. These blogs posts, I created were forced; not necessarily passionate about therefore making them not the most fun to read and feel like they do not reflect anything about me. The things that I do decide to keep tend to be interests of mine and intentionally leave them for other to use in the future.

 In the book Bootstraps: From an American Academic of Color Victor Villanueva, he uses the term racelessness. This term, I find very important because I think the significance of in which the term is used. This term to me refers more in the sense of a biological stand point not from a cultural stand point; or at least it should be used in that way. Racelessness should reflect more on the merging of the multi ethnicity of biological features in a person where they should not be obligated by any society to act upon their expectations; to have no choice in what we want as individuals for ourselves is frankly 19th century. People’s thoughts and opinions and rhetorical choices in how one acts, or the choice in what outfit they are wearing is nothing but a product of what the individual chooses to accept as part of who they are. For example, Yes, society is the first to look down on someone who chooses to “Act” too white if you are black and “Act”  too black if you are white. What exactly does this mean? To “Act”… aren’t they nothing but stereotypes to begin with?  depending of your biological traits you  are expected to “Act” a certain way on someone else’s expectations, no matter what; so I say to those who get criticized for speaking, acting, or dressing a “different way”, go on and be who you want to be with no limitations! . So I challenge the use of this term!
