Memory is a fluid term; it stands out to be different for different people to understand the fluidity of the term. I’ve been researching and asking people around me a few questions to understand its fluidity?
What does memory mean?
What are the memories they use to remember these memories?
What are their struggles in remembering a moment?
A single definition can not be similar for every individual. Memory is a fluid term. It stands out to be different for different people. With time new technologies have replaced the traditional ways of storing memories. But these technological changes are also affecting us and creating changes in and around us.
To depict those changes and understand and outline the concerns. Created a series of abstract narration focusing on those scenarios to gather insights about how these changes are creating an impact on the human mind.

What is a memory, and what does it constitute off?
It’s hard for any individual to remember everything every day. With the expanse of technology mediums for storing memories has evolved with time. Due to this change, there are only a few memories that they can keep a hold-off.
How can we incorporate new evolved mediums with technology in a manner that can create an impact on the user with correspondence to the happening of the event? Irrespective of the date, the event that happened on that date will signify the importance of the moment that occurred on that date.

How have different mediums for storing memories evolved with time?
With the pace of technology, mediums to store memories evolved with time and kept on mingling with each other. From letter writing to capturing pictures to social media platforms where one can post a picture with a caption. As technology always was and is being upgraded with the new updates and more number of platforms and features out there. Somewhere, the essence of those traditional ways and memory faded away.
Those mediums were also the part of the feel of those memories, which kept the essence of those moments. How can we incorporate those traditional ways mingled with technology so that it could still preserve the essence of those memories?

What impact does information in different form creates on memories?
What impact does information in different form creates on memories?
Social media platforms are a blessing for a lot, whereas curse for some. On the one hand, it’s a great platform to create awareness and pass a piece of information, but how is that information is perceived by everyone and what impact does it create is also an important question.
Social media platforms are happened out to be useful in many ways, but they do not define the idea of privacy. To what extent can one control their information out there in public? How much private is their information? How can we incorporate the same awareness but keep the sense of inclusiveness and the idea of personal boundaries in mind?

How do reminders affect memories?
How do reminders affect memories?
One can not remind themselves every day about the past happenings. Those memories are then filtered into a few dates which are significantly attached to an event; then those dates are being reminded, not the moment.
That blunt piece of information appearing as a notification doesn’t aware, but it creates a disconnection, because of the notification we try to only focus on the date and forget to memories the happening of the moments on that date, whereas there are several memories of that person or maybe of that event that is far more important than a specific date. Dates are important, but they have a meaning because of some or the other memories associated with them. How can we incorporate those moments in that date?

Why a mobile application?

After completing the abstract narration of the scenarios and underlining insights out of those, the insights are supposed to be formulated into a feature list. How notifications and reminders are used to inform about birthdays is not progressive. Either one has to sit and write each of their contact's birthdays and create reminders for that or rely on social media platforms. Also, it is not about reminders of specific dates but to regain the essence of memories and how every day constitutes a memory. And how to incorporate traditional forgotten ways with technology that it helps to regain the forgotten essence.
A digital artefact or device would not have as much reach as a mobile application. Also, the problem remains the same the traditional ways faded away because it was hard to be consistent with them. Mobile phones are something which is used by a large population. It will be an easy way for those who want to preserve every day's happenings as moments for them so they can relook and reflect on them.

There are a number of applications already out there, then why a new one?

There are a number of applications out there, but each of them has a defined task to do and for most of them is to remind the user of the date, not about what happened on that day. It creates a difference; this application is about the day and not the date. Of course, dates are necessary, but not more than why that date is significant. It will not provide a blunt reminder of the date but will evoke a sense of inclusiveness for the user, where they will be reminded of the day and all the memories associated with that day and the person.
