Digital Litter

We leave little footprints.

Each tiny digital creation tucked away forgotten in server farms.

The robots crawl in to check on you occasionally. Add you to their list.

The pile of digital litter grows. The algorithms picking through the pile, in search of relevancy. And occasional serendipity.

We leave broken clay pots in the digital earth. For future archaeologists to piece together. With their own algorithms.

Even the unread article makes the pile bigger.

Making each search that little bit harder.
