The end of history

Though declaring email “the end of history” is more than a bit of hyperbole, this article about the difficulty of keeping a national archive in the digital age is very scary.

Because of email, and the Internet in general, people are writing and reading more, yet very little of that information is being archived in any meaningful way.
