Wow...You may be interested in the book, "The Clock of the Long Now" by Stewart Brand (author of the "Whole Earth Catalog") because there is a chapter about archiving documents in the future; what documents does one include or exclude? In reference to the impossibility of archiving everything...

PS: The book inspired me to do a multimedia show in Detroit, Michigan, 2002

I think this is awesome. I often wonder if I would keep a diary now of everyday things, whether my grandchildren would find it interesting as "history"? It's sobering to think what we do today will be history for those generations coming after. What will our impact be?
