Their was a time when we thought computers would allow us to store data for an millenium. Now we are lucky if we get 4 years out of it.
Ironically a stone tablet is still the only way to store data long term.

I was thinking about that the other day. Will there every be a time when "beings" of some sort are looking at Mount Rushmore saying "wow, who were these guys?"
"Hamilton is really a Colossus to the anti republican party. Without numbers he is an host within himself. They have got themselves into a defile where they might be finished but too much security on the republican part will give time to his talents and indefatigableness to extricate them. We have had only middling performances to oppose to him. In truth when he comes forward there is nobody but yourself who can meet him. His adversaries having begun the attack he has the advantage of answering them and remains unanswered himself. For God's sake take up your pen and give a fundamental reply to Curtius and Camillas" - Thomas Jefferson to James Madison
