transience: nowadays people are both quicker to adopt and to abandon newtechnologies, services, jobs, and even relationships, presumably because: (1) it has become mucheasier to change such commitments; (2) there are so many more options to be explored; (3) new,and potentially better, options appear at an ever faster rate.
A high rate of appearance of new choices outdates current choices quickly. We are more reticent to commit because we feel another better choice will appear just around the corner.

DHers peer with microscopes and macroscopes, looking into things we cannot see. And even while we delight in building the shiny and the new—and come to meetings like this to celebrate and share and advance that work—we know that someone, sooner or later, curates bits against our ruins.1
Yes, but in a wider sense is that not the transience of life and that within in? There is a beginning, middle and an end. In the future, our present will be their past, their history. Is there not hope in the fact that if we as DHrs begin this process of peering, analysing, recording and curating now that this process lives on in the future generation of DHrs who will curate our work, our ruins?
