I don't buy the "dark ages" thing. Even if 99.99% of the digital data about you disappears, you'll still leave a much, much bigger footprint than even your recent ancestors did. I know a lot about my parents, a few bits and pieces about my grandparents, and nothing further back except a name and maybe a photo.
