We also need to see widespread adoption of Information Lifecycle Management thinking. One example is the billions (trillions?) of hours of video held by YouTube and its ilk. Does most of this really need to be preserved in perpetuity? To evoke Theodore Sturgeon, at least 90% of it is crap. The argument from the other side is that we don't know what future historians will find valuable for study, but in a finite universe, a balance needs to be struck and I feel it's too far on the end of preserving anything and everything 'just because'.
