This is really a problem that keeps me awake at night, and archive.org doesn't make me feel any better. Look back ten years and see what storage media the world was using. In 300 years or 1000 years, will they even know what voltage of AC electricity to feed to the machines we used? If they are lucky enough to have some physical exemplar of these, it certainly won't be working, and the "cloud" will of course be long dissipated. What's worse, the storage media we have are not all that well-equipped to survive that long.

Because with more wives, the cooking is better.
