Creating software that forgets is a deliberate design decision, enabling enhanced user experiences by discarding outdated data, unlike traditional software that retains everything.
Most digital applications serve as dumping grounds for old files. Instead of preserving everything, the ability to forget invites a more manageable and targeted user experience.
Physical objects naturally decay, which helps in organizing and managing space. Software should mimic these qualities to enhance usability and user satisfaction.
While skeuomorphic designs recreated physical experiences, they failed to incorporate the natural lifecycle of objects, focusing too much on the aesthetic and not enough on functional decay.
