An old memory can flash back as far as a time when the cameras took photographs that printed within seconds of being taken and in a variety of black and white shades. Whether it's a recent memory of a 22nd birthday and beach trip with a special someone...
Or an old childhood memory of playing your favorite sport, with your favorite number, and receiving a gift from your mother who means so much to you.
These are the same memories that were captured in different ways in a time before cell phones. In the past, these memories were saved as photographs that printed from the camera in black and white ink with only one single copy to exist in the world. Today, we capture these memories on cellphones and with a click of a button can share them with an unlimited number of people. We can store many copies in different places. We can even store copies somewhere in an iCloud that exists, yet not many people can explain how. Needless to say, I use my phone for storing many important memories and other things... my life would be flipped upside down without it.
Objects can just be objects or they can be objects with meaning and a whole stack of memories loaded into them.
