BBC Article about a meaning of domestic things, which is not quite new things to say, but still interesting to read since it is about things that we see and interact everyday.

"Why we keep any of this stuff I do not know, except as something to hand on to our own children, to keep in cupboards of their own - our endless inheritance of waste."

BUT

"All furniture communicates meaning - it's unavoidable. It's what things do. A bed speaks of our inner lives, of the body and the soul. Our cupboards and cabinets imply secrets. Wardrobes suggest our dreams of other worlds. And tables invite company."

And records...
And digital materials...

Story goes / needs to go on.
