It is a form of permanence where there would otherwise be none.- Other than the incredible life story and piece, it makes me think about technology on three fronts: - Permanence vs. ephemerality of information. Whole decades worth of content dissappearing. Contrast that to a cathedral; for example.- - Craft, and excellence, and pride in one's work vs. "enshittification".- - Know-how and institutional and personal knowledge "rot". Think Apollo program personnel dying off, Apollo program vs. Boeing Starliner.- PS. I know. "Cathedral to info" is apples to oranges, a bit. But ... ... why can't we come up with systems that hold information available, for that long? |
