>looking ahead>

In a hundred years the internet will hold literally 
millions of peoples' life stories. 
From Blogs, 
to Facebook, 
to Twitter, 
to Tumbler, 
to everything that's yet to come. 
You'll be able to trace a person's life 
from their birth to their death 
via the millions of postings they, and others, made on the internet.
 There will be countless sources of dead man's words and hopes and dreams.
Every time I see pictures of newborns on Facebook
I just think that this person's entire life will most likely be 
chronicled on the internet, 
and the history lover in me is fascinated by this.
History is remembered by those who take the chance to record it.
 And I am a part of that legacy.
