Aims....(thats you)....(unless that bugs you i just feel you have the best aim wrt meme's)....re the last 'stone tablets' meme, a good book I rec read is The Guardian of All Things by Michael S Malone. I can send you my copy if'n you want. History of memory and written languages, from 'just remembering' to stone scoring to cave painting to papyrus to clay tablets to writing on skins to paper to books to records to tape recording and various coated surfaces with magnetic manipulation to plastic surfaces with tiny etchings (cds) to hard drives and on and on. One thing he doesnt discuss is how the way humans kept memory alive is by having children and teaching them the stories and the songs and the stuff. So the human race is a memory machine, and the book does also come to the fact that we ourselves are the guardians of memory. My email is all one word at pm dot me.
The new word... 'apocaloptimist', I love it.
