Being a future historian will be so fucking cool now that we have the internet, they'll be able to get so much more precise. The internet is basically a blockchain of history if you have the data and know what to look for.
>>16826479The craziest thing I think future historians will find is this 100+ year period where we used soft plastics and lead to catch fish. I'm not going to give up a texas rig to catch bass. It works. But I'm leaving lead weights and soft plastics bits in the sedememtary levels of every lake I fish in.
>>16826482Continuous detailed data on all civilization metrics combined with everyone's DMs will basically map out most notable events down to a very fine resolution.
>>16826484Bruh most of the world can't even find all the times fauci said the vax works and he totally didn't do any gain of function research. You really think the Internet is going to be any more useful than the Bible as history research?
>>16826485I don't care about troglodytes who can't use search engines. It'll probalby be done by AI as well.
You're so fucking stupid it's actually unbelievable.Most of the early internet is already gone.Internet historians NOW are at a loss.Things are routinely disappeared even from the archive which utilizes a webscraper.A CME could erase fucking everything. All electronic records, except for a very few which happen to be specially insulated, completely gone.Future historians will consider this to be a dark age where they don't know what the fuck happened because barely any records survived.Because nobody is preserving books, we don't carve in stone or etch clay, its all electronic. These systems decay, flashdrives have a short shelf life, if there's no electricity they cannot be read.
>>16826479You must have never read 1984. The internet is going to be, in a matter of at most two decades, the death of any unadulterated information. Historians will be as able to retrieve good data (not manipulated by fat American/Israeli/Arab/European hands) from the internet as they are able to find new books in the Library of Alexandria.If you're too dumb to understand: imagine all books were digital and google had the pdfs on their server. That's literally what's going to come
>>16827374I like vellum, difficult to forge lasts a thousand years or more if properly stored
For me, it's glass cubes encoded with a laser that creates burst micro cavities in three dimensions with it's focal point adjusted for refraction.You can then scan these cubes and decode the message written inside it.They'll last effectively forever, and would be trivial for a civilization with high enough tech to read supposing there were a key of some sort preserved.
>>16826479>The internet is basically a blockchain of history if you have the data and know what to look for.No, most of the data on the internet is not widely distributed and checked by a bunch of other independent servers, its held on random individual servers often with no real longterm backup themselves due to the transient nature of the data being passed around, so its nothing like a blockchain which is why we don't have the data anymore, so there is nowhere to look.
