Last week, I tried to find some photos from my college graduation. Despite being only fifteen years ago, they proved surprisingly elusive – trapped on a defunct Photobucket account, lost to a crashed hard drive, and scattered across social media platforms that no longer exist. This got me thinking about a paradox: we’re generating more data than ever before, yet we might be leaving fewer lasting records than any civilization in history.

>>106573348the entire internet is back up by the glowies, the chinese, everyone.ask them nicely for your photos
>>106573348Yeah, interesting. Arguably we are leaving a huge physical footprint behind. Such as buildings, archival vaults, heck we have carved out man made rivers. Digitally, I agree with you, but we are leaving behind a huge imprint.
Yep you're right. Once the digital information gets archived, lost, etc etc, there's going to be no record of people living here except for all the trash we made.
>>106573348there aint no wrong now, aint no right.only pleasure and pain
>>106573348It doesn't matter if things are forgotten. The impact they had in your life still remains with you even after your memories of them are gone. I learned that from a MLP fanfiction.
>>106573348Wow, a bunch of problems that are entirely your fault - including the HDD crash. Make backups, retard.
