I recently saw an interesting documentary called Digital Dark Age, which effectively argues that we're setting ourselves up to lose all of our information/data by digitizing everything the way we currently do. We're trusting everything to digital formats that cannot last over time. It's far easier to store a digital file than a book, but in a hundred years the digital file will most likely be unreadable while the book will be just fine.Quote:

Bullshit. I'm coming over and checking.
No you're not.
No.
I'm not.
Fuck e-books, I like physical things. I'm hateful toward the planet like that. I have no interest reading something from a little screen - the tactile sensation is all wrong. You damn kids.
Damn, already sold out.

Quick, you're in Germany in the 1930's. It is morally wrong to choose which laws we will observe and which we will not. What do you do?Quote:
