"There is a very real possibility that nothing created, stored and
disseminated electronically will survive in the long term. The problem
does need to be stated this dramatically. I have an unfailing sinking
feeling whenever anybody links the concepts of digitisation and
preservation. I have a profound and unchanging belief that these two
concepts do not belong in any sense in the same world."

"Once you are past the most recent history of individual memories, the
interest shown in an age does not depend on how long ago it was."
