Very true, the internet has a memory problem. If you try to research something that happened, let's say 10 years ago, by using just the Internet you'll have lots of trouble. If it wasn't printed in one of the major newspapers you're out of luck. Not only that but you'll need to go through a truck load of data if you want to expand on what the newspapers have to say. I suspect that eventually, no one will be able to look back at the net's past since cryptography is becoming a must for everything net. If you're reading this and you encrypt your data, think about the data 10 years ago that you encrypted. Can you get to it? Maybe. Think about someone else's. I bet you can't. What happened 10 years is blurry now. If that's the case now then what will happen 100 years from now.
