Currently, nearly every piece of printed matter whether it is a newspaper or a book is catalogued and stored. Everything that can be read, usually winds up in a depository so that down the line someone is able to go back and read it again.
My question is should this be extended to all public online content that can be read.
Should we be storing blogs, online photos, tweets and so on in public repositories, so that they can be available to future generations.
Given how much content is now online trying to store it all now, let alone in the future would be a massive job.
Does the sheer scale of it make it an impossibility, is the majority of the content so terrible that trying to find the diamonds just isn't worth it?
Or regardless, it is worth storing all that accumlated, knowledge, thoughts and wisdom?
