  The key is going to be how it’s curated.

  I remember reading a while back that some moron dropped his shoe down a well in the 1400s, and when they found it 600 years later they put it in a museum because so few things from that time have survived.

  Historians of the future are going to have the opposite problem. We have massive amounts of digital pornography and pictures of cats, the landfills have millions of Styrofoam cups and plastic spoons, and someone will have to pick through that mess and decide what mattered and what didn’t.
