One day there will be computer software archeologists who will prospect their way through ancient CD-ROMs, hard drives, and, uh, punch cards(??) reconstructing the lost software of our society. And as more and more stuff goes digital (art, movies, etc), the storage (and potential recovery) of our culture will be completely dependent on those ones and zeros sitting on something that can withstand the ravages of time. And even then, we may have lost the software to recreate, run and view the files. Will the restoration of a web browser be the Rosetta Stone of our future?
