NAIVE TAKE ON INFO PRESERVATION
WE ALL KNOW INTERNET SHEDS OLD DATA AND ITS IRREVOCABLY LOST
MARIO 64 IS PRESERVED, OLD NICHE PDFS GET GONE, FLASH GAMES GET GONE, ETC

INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGY IS A JIGSAW PUZZLE OF A BILLION TINY PIECES AND EACH PIECE IS UNINTERESTING AND WILL GET CYCLED OUT BY THE INTERNET

WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PRESERVE NICHE INFORMATION UP TO THIS POINT USING THE FAR MORE DURABLE STORAGE METHOD OF PAPER BOOKS
PAPER BOOKS LAST LONGER THAN INTERNET PRESENCE, THEY ARE MORE EASILY LOCATED, THEY ARE INDEPENDENT OF ELECTRICITY AND SERVICE PROVIDERS AND SERVERS HOSTING THE DATA, AND THEY USED TO BE REGULARLY REPRODUCED -- EITHER THROUGH PUBLISHING NEW RUNS OR BY REFERENCING AND CITING INFORMATION FROM THEM INTO NEW BOOKS
NOT ANYMORE, HOWEVER
WE JUST PUT THEM ON THE INTERNET, AND ONLY REPUBLISH THE MARIO 64 BOOKS AS A STATUS AND LUXURY PRODUCT
ONCE THE OLD BOOKS RUN OUT THE TECHNICAL DATA WILL BEGIN TO DECAY THE WAY OLD WEBSITES DO

ADDITIONALLY THERE IS THE MASSIVE DROP IN LITERACY
IF ONLY TEN PERCENT OF THE POPULATION ARE LITERATE ANYMORE -- AND THAT'S A VERY OPTIMISTIC ESTIMATE IMO -- THEN FOR THE PURPOSES OF MAINTAINING THE INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGY COMPLEX, THE BLACK DEATH AND NUCLEAR WAR HAVE ALREADY HAPPENED AND KILLED OFF 90%
ACTUALLY WORSE THAN THAT BECAUSE THE REMAINING 10% HAVE TO MAINTAIN THE TECH BASE TO THE TUNE OF TEN TIMES THE USEFUL OUTPUT THAN WHAT AASS DIEOFF WOULD REQUIRE
