Draft talk:Digital hoarding

Recommendations[edit]

I think this article is extremely well written, and I like that there are many internal links incase the reader needs clarification of what certain terms mean. One thing I would add is the number of computers that Larry Fisher has, as the reader may be curious, given the circumstance. Also, your article will need references. I'm curious to read the article that you heard about Mr. Fisher in, but there is no reference link.

Feedback[edit]

I think this is a great start! I think it would be interesting if you added a section on characteristics that may be more prone to Digital Hoarding, such as older adults. Here is an article that you may find useful: http://europepmc.org/abstract/MED/22372828/reload=0;jsessionid=jyTbWb6T6e0suaAhupiZ.10 . You may also want to include a section on the history of Digital Hoarding. Was there a time period when others started noticing this trend? What caused it? Here are a few other resources that might be helpful as you expand on the article:

Hi Sarlisah, this is a really intriguing (and scary) concept in its physical sense but now to apply it to what we perceive as a limitless digital space... yikes!

You could add some information on the broader consequences of digital hoarding, considering that it the internet is a limited resource and our collection of data contributes to physical e-waste.

While reading your article I was wondering about the nature of digital hoarding - is it neat or messy? Hoarders are assumed to be disorganized people. What then, does digital disorganization look like? Here's a recent article from WSJ that talks to digital disorganization, perhaps you could expand on this point.
