This isn't a fair premise. Websites have not existed for 500 years and were not possible until roughly around the time of their inception.

- hnfong 5y agoIt doesn't have to be fair. Things come and go. To host information for X years, statistically the things most likely to last are those that already existed for at least that amount of time. Or you can take your chances, which, again statistically speaking, is not good if we're talking about websites lasting 500 years.
- playpause 5y agoNo, the point is you can’t use the fact that websites are currently under 500 years old as evidence that they won’t ever be 500 years old.

- philipswood 5y agoTrue, but what percentage of electronic records from the 70s are still readable?
- rossdavidh 5y agoSorry, that was the point I was trying to make, perhaps I should have made it more explicitly.
