By any metric, we're the most documented civilization ever. Future historians should have an unprecedented window into our daily lives, thoughts, and experiences. Right? Right?? https://www.joanwestenberg.com/why-the-internet-era-might-be-historys-least-documented-period/

Yes! Thank you! I’ve referred to this era as the inflatable castle. Like a bounce house, only by putting in constant energy does it have form and function. With previous, analog methods of documentation we had items of persistence. But film, print, paint, even stone tablets eventually turn to dust. Will read your piece with your interest.
