I see people wishing the Internet Archive would go away.
All I can think of is the Library of Alexandria. And how the secret of Roman concrete was lost.
Because there was no archive. Directions weren't saved.
So much culture, and valuable history has been lost because it was kept locked away.
Someday, those in charge will want to know - How were Iphones (for example) designed?
We can almost guess. What were the missing steps?
Lost and locked out of cultural memory.
