I'm reminded of the 3750 year old customer complaint letter: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complaint_tablet_to_Ea-nasir

That's so good. That offers such an insight into lives from long ago. It's weird how I suddenly felt so attached to the business frustrations of the ancient babylonians!

Apologies, I've stolen it myself https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15669759

The sad thing is none of the customer complaints of today will ever last as long as that did due to the lack of long term storage devices.

We really need a long term storage solution for our data as a society or risk having another period of dark ages in the future.

Thanks for that interesting bit. Any links about what happened after? I guess it's lost in the history now, sadly.
