Comment on We're losing our digital history. Can the Internet Archive save it?
obinice@lemmy.world 2 months agoNot enough of the mundane has been preserved throughout human history, it continues to be a big problem for historians. Especially when they only have major - likely very coloured or outright lies - official records of events to go on.
We’ve reached a point in our development where we now have the ability to preserve snapshots of our civilisation in great detail, with extreme ease. We owe it to ourselves and especially to future generations to do so.

That preservation comes at a cost though, both monetary and environmental, and the amount of data to preserve increases exponentially.
