Comment Re:Who Will Read It ? (Score 1) 36
A few thoughts come to mind:
1) I imagine the same thing could more or less be said about libraries. After all, the vast majority of books in a large library go unread at any given time
2) Eventually our current nation-states will grow old and die. The cultures that replace them might find it useful to destroy whatever archives that they can find, or it might happen by warfare or accident.
3) LOCKSS. Lot's Of Copies Keep Stuff Safe. Too bad the Library of Alexandria didn't have a redundant offsite backup location.
