> If you want to keep stuff for millennia you need clay tablets and stone, not USB sticks and magnetic tapes. Actually, there's a better way: Religion! Religion will have people devoting their lives to copying things generation after generation. We just need a new religion that devotes their time and (collective) resources into the preservation of all things digital. Something like archive.org but with groups of people gathering every Sunday to copy (and catalog) each other's data. Sure, the majority of the archives will probably consist of porn but that is also one of the most likely artifacts to be found at any given archeological site (aka little statues/carvings of a, "fertility goddess"). So... more of the same sort of discoveries by archeologists of the future who get access to the Church of the Digital God's archives.
