### 05JUL2022 - The digital dark ages.

I just read an interesting short article about how to future historians the modern age will be dark age. Not because society crumbles (though that might happen lol) nor because nobody is writing things down, but because future historians won't have access to very much. Only a small fraction of the internet and internet-based things are archived, and those that are are likely inaccesable. The article is written much better than anything I can manage. But it's interesting, and it makes me wonder what role static content like gemini, gopher, and old fashioned html, will play in future research. Assuming the data is physically accessable, it's human readable even in its raw form, and is laid out in a linear manner.
