>tfw in 1000 years nobody will have a clue what happened in our time because digital data storage is fucking shit and most information will be lost in a couple of decades

I will make sure that my favorite porn survives by regularly backing it up on new storage media.

We know a lot about what happened in the last 2 centuries. You have biographers poring over diaries and newspapers and shit
Modern people don't even maintain a digital diary

You do know that 100 years ago, 99% of civilization was illiterate? Those diaries are of the 1% of the most important folk who could get an education, and even then it's mostly irrelevant tripe. What a treasure trove of information the future archeologist would find in Chads diaries, how he fucked Stacy, or Anon poster fapping over his animu gf.

If you had a laser etcher and felt like firing some clay tablets, what would be the most important information for the millenarians

I'm thinking 2+2=4
Rosetta Stone the Bible
Golden Ratio, royal cubit, pyramid power
The evils of usury and fractional reserve banking
systems of measure
alphabets of the ages

Digital storage is space efficient but doesn't last across time at all. We have manuscript illuminations from the medieval period, roman writings and egyptian hieroglyphs. In even something like 200 years even the only documentation of what happened in like the year 2000 will be in printed documents and physical writing.

Wrong in a thousand years whole university departments will be devoted to the study of the tiktok religion.

We need better storage if we want to upload our consciousness.

[Anonymous No.15112876]

What's the oldest digital registry that we have today? I'm guessing some compact disks from the 80's, even though those tend to degrade a lot. All it takes is a single sun explosion and we are done as a civilization, might as well come back to shitting in holes.
