Just like tattoos they can fade.
Assume permanent data when you want something deleted and temporary data when you want it saved. If you want it deleted it's probably because someone thinks it is worth saving. If you want it saved, well it doesn't mean anyone does,(or that who ever does will make it accessible) so you'll need to ensure it's paid for.
- june07 3y agoI appreciate this further use of the tattoo analogy. At its core, the data exists on a server, but it's intriguing to ponder how many times it has been duplicated, cached, and stored. How many individuals and devices have contributed to this process? Is there an absolute method to ascertain this complex journey? Undoubtedly, nothing on this planet, whether digital or physical, internet-based or in print, is truly everlasting. Eventually, everything returns to the earth, a poignant reminder of impermanence. Drawing a parallel to tattoo removal by laser, I'm reminded of an old girlfriend's experience. While she possessed a remarkable pain threshold, it was an ordeal she wouldn't willingly revisit. So again, I still feel data online is very much LIKE a tattoo in its permanent nature, and time only strengthens that feeling.
