I dunno, I've seen a lot of people straight up OPPOSE archiving one's online life...
Photos, screencaps, downloads of important broadcasts (audio OR video), informational texts, one's own writings, I mean just ALL of your internet life/interests compiled...
I've had people flat out tell me they think it's a waste of time, or it's stupid, or there's no reason to, etc.
I just couldn't agree any less. That's like saying grandma never should have put together those family albums because nobody cares about seeing Uncle Dave when he was 5 and nobody cares about seeing your mom's high school picture, or nobody cares about seeing you as a baby 50 years ago.
I dunno, I just think that's really lame, and the idea that what we do now in the digital age is any different than that really makes me shake my head. It's NOT different, it's exactly the same thing, just in another format, and actually it's a whole lot more expansive than your 'family album'... there's a whole lot more encompassed in it than just your life, your information, etc. It's a conglomerate... waste of time? Ha, I think not.
