Why the Museum of Failure though?

"The intersections of popular culture and new media have become central in shaping our everyday lives and in ordering our routine experiences" - David Beer

This made me consider the interconnectivity of media and Instagram as a platform and just how centralised it has become to our culture. Culture itself is such an ambiguous term but many would argue it is part of everything - similar to our collaborative new media relationship.

In order to reach full interconnectivity the sites must be utilised.

"On a micro-blogging platform like Twitter (or Instagram can be used) this [collaborative] layer might take the form of an instruction to 'use the #iranelections hashtag on your tweets, (sic)' or on a photo-sharing platform. These mechanisms aggregate the content into a new social object." - The Social Media Reader

From this view it becomes less about content and more about the infiltration, which makes me consider the idea of obsolete technologies as there is not a care for what they are, but a want for new 'so say' better things. 

The Museum of Failure has been created to exhibit what we no longer care about and how it has just been tossed aside. Presented in a digital era online to show what failed, and when the project continues if we are to look back on the first obsolete technologies thrown on to the street, we would probably not even be able to decipher them.
