What to store? (Score 1)

Most important, I think that we need to record the progression of technology. I think that the best way to do this is to store a meta-event that caused a major impact on human-kind. Geez -- I didn't even mention its effect on the planet... One way to do this is by recording all media on some device similar to this. Another alternative is to store everything published by all the major research centers. We might want to raise the filter and just store technological advances that made it into the mainstream, like the effect of the moon landing, and the mars probes. And there is always that little piece of software written about 7 years ago by a young guy at CREN which has pretty much changed the face of knowledge distribution as we know it. I guess what I am getting at is that if we were to store this kind of meta-event, then the other changes which are so well covered and perviasive in the media would make sense.
