The Weight of Small Machines

Old calculator
Typing as memory — sound as persistence across time.

The rhythm of keys persists — mechanical sound tracing time’s pulse. I no longer remember when I stopped using it, but the gestures linger, carried through newer devices, transferred like inheritance.

Machines are small witnesses. Each click holds a memory, a method, a continuation of motion — reminders that our interfaces remember us as much as we remember them.

What if archiving isn’t a backward glance, but a forward vibration?

To archive is to project — to imagine continuity. When I touch the worn-out keys again, it’s not to relive a moment but to see how that motion continues, differently, elsewhere.
