i think about this a lot with my kids. due to smartphones we have thousands of pictures of their early life, so they "remember" all these things that happened when they were 1 year old etc. because theyve seen these pictures enough times they legitimately do remember the picture at least and can recall the events, but im sure without all the pictures they would have no memory of any of it.

My earliest memories are definitely just "memories of memories" at this point. Like I can remember-what-I-remembered more than the memory itself. Not so different from remembering a photo, I think.
