Touches on the issue of recollection and memory of events and disasters at the individual and community level.

At the individual level, memory has stated by Wikipedia (2012) is the recording of stimuli and emotional responses to those stimuli to be accessed at a later date. At the individual level memory has inherent meaning, however, memories fade over time.

At the community level memories can come in different forms such as stories, laws, cultural values and behaviours. Therefore memories are longer lasting; however, the meaning of the memory can be lost, underestimated or misunderstood over time.

It is due to this nature of memory that history has a habit of repeating itself.

To solve this problem the virtual world could recorded and
stored electronically memories and stream them back to you as required or planned.
Therefore important historical events, lessons and disasters will no longer be forgotten.
