just writing about not developing photos any more and inks that dont last it occured to me. i was talking to someone about this the other day. i dont remember who or where.
why do you think we dont know anything about the ancients like the Atlantians etc. is it because their technology was so advanced if they had photos they didnt need to print them just keep them on a machine maybe a holographic one. maybe it was only held in their vibration - and there writings?
i really feel we are going to lose a whole generation of knowledge and maybe for evermore and we will become the civilization that future generations know nothing about. that is of course if we leave any thing for them to survive in the first place.

Good points! Especially the one about leaving anything for them to survive! There is also the possibility that the Atlanteans DID leave written and pictorial records -- we just haven't found them yet. I am currently spending lots of time and money converting family records to current technologies, knowing how transient these technologies are. I can only hope future generations will take care of the originals as carefully as I am trying to. One thing to realize is that our landfills contain so much non-decaying matter that any future historian need only go to the dump to find more info than they'll ever need.

yes i agree there probably is something we havent found or even it has been found but like the chapters from the bible we are not allowed to see them because it may change history and the way we think about things and we cant have that can we.
i am aware of the terrible plight we have with landfil but that will only get the non decaying not the important documentation. oh well can you see the museums of the future. this here is a microwave and a mobile phone the stupid idiots of the past didnt realise it was slowly killing them all off :) oh and a burger that is still intact after 1000 years. oh this could be fun the museum of the future.
