Re: UKNM: Re: RE: Time Capsule

[Steve Bowbrick]

Stewart Brand (The Clock of the Long Now), Danny Hillis, Brewster

Kahle (Alexa) et al think this era will be thought of as a dark age

in the future because nothing we currently create in the digital

realm will be even readable let alone archived and indexed. The Long

Now people plan some kind of enduring archive for things digital

(with a proposed lifetime of 10,000 years) and have concluded that

the only way to record fugitive written culture is to lift it out of

the digital realm all together and inscribe it on discs of nickel to

be read using a microscope.
