Hello Folks,

I came across this article and thought it was really interesting and insightful. I think it reminds us while the internet is a great and very useful tool we should not carelessly cast away hard copies of source materials. What happens when the internet has a failure and large amounts of data are lost? Do we lose portions of our collective histories? Back-ups are not always foolproof.

Your Thoughts?

 

have they found a new Faberge egg, since pics could be uploaded to the web?
a new Renoir..?
a new Duesenberg...?
Hope Diamond......

The only history we'd lose....would be so recent that 9999999.9999% of it could be replaced............easily.
