Olive is the world’s oldest blogger, clocking in at 108. She blogs with help about her life and her story. What this leads me to is, all of this content that tweens are creating now, do they care enough to keep is alive, so that in generations future we will have all these MySpace pages, blog posts, and twitter feeds that we can look back upon?
I would imagine that it would be both a dream come true and a nightmare at the same time for historians. Imagine yourself a historian 400 years from now and sorting through landfills full of hard drives and servers with these mountains of data, how and where would you start? Now that’s something to think about!
