4 If the civilization of the future is the civilization of the Internet. Our generation, will have no history. Because the Internet has left no trace of us. "No history." Does this matter matter? Of course it's important. In order to write an article about Shao Yibo, I once tried every possible means to find the original video of Shao Yibo's participation in the program "Boshi Tang" in 2007, as well as his wife, Bao Jiaxin's postings in the Baby Tree community, which had been posted for several years under the screen name "Wen Ai Mom". In the end, I couldn't find them, and I can only feel deep regret. Although the article "Red Dust Has Forgotten Shao Yibo" is still very popular, with more than 700,000 people reading it and more than 20,000 retweeting it in just one week, I'm pretty sure that I must have missed some very important information. The quality of the article would have been better if they had been presented in that article. But I couldn't find them, so I had to let the article be presented in an imperfect way. You may be thinking: this is only useful for researchers and writers like Hojasan, I don't write articles like this, it's not like the internet information is gone without it, it's not like it affects me. Really? If we can no longer see all of Jack Ma's speeches, all of Ren Zhengfei's articles represented by My Father and Mother and A River of Spring Water Flows East, and all of Duan Yongping's postings in Snowball, would you not feel a little bit sorry? Well, you say you don't feel pity. If we can no longer search Huang Zheng's public number, can not see Zhang Yiming's microblogging, can not go on Wang Xing's rice, will you feel a little regret? Well, you say you don't feel sorry either. If one day, Zhihu like Tianya Forum is gone, Douban like RenRen disappeared, B site is like Sina blog has no one asked, will you not a little heartache? If one day, your favorite microblogger's microblogging only shows "the author has set to show only six months of microblogging, this microblogging is no longer visible", you often read the public only shows "this account has been blocked, the content can not be viewed", you are in the jittery voice or Xiaohongshu Search for certain information, the results show "the author has cleared all the content" ...... Even, microblogging, public number, jittery voice, small red book, just like once existed bbs, posting bar, space, blogs, as all the demise ...... Will you be sad about this even for a short minute? As the generation of traditional Internet, the 70s and 80s can no longer find our history. Because they have all but disappeared. The new generation may still be able to look at the circle of friends, but the circle of friends is also more and more "three days visible", more and more silent. The only thing that is still enthusiastic about sending circles is a waterfall of marketing information. In the future, even these marketing messages will eventually die out.
