In 20 years I'll have detailed memories and archives of most of my past
Or Facebook will, anyway. Assuming they're still in business.
If you think the idea of Facebook eventually going bankrupt and deleting their archives, or selling those archives to a recycler in a fire sale, is somehow ridiculous I invite you to contemplate the fate of Geocities. Or Netscape, or Sun Microsystems, or the decline of Yahoo.
Is there anything in Facebook's terms of service where they even promise to preserve any of your data, let alone allow you to download it free of charge in perpetuity? Perhaps the ultimate fallback Facebook business model will be to erect a firewall and charge folks tolls for admission to their own cherished memories.
