Nothing deep, but I shared a Vinton Cerf speech notes once and he commented in the end about this being the “dark age” of information. The assumption was that, for example, everything human kind created in Renaissance was still possible to see/hear/comprehend because they were paintings we can see with our eyes, musics we can hear with our ear, etc. Nowadays, all content that is created relies on a Operational System to be “rendered” or understood. And there isn’t much we are doing on the sense of making sure all Word’s .doc documents will be read in 100 years, and others. He also said that it could be a problem, but it’s also okay since humans will always tend to created technologies to rely on. We are concern about privacy and info-apocalypse but we are not concern about running out of electricity — it would be more chaotic, but it’s past the Panic Curve that Michell posted the other day (IMO). Just to complement, they tried to create a communication for 10k years in the future, but languages and other stuff are a problem (imagine Stonehenge could clearly mean something to someone that we can’t understand) - http://www.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/green_room/2009/11/atomic_priesthoods_thorn_landscapes_and_munchian_pictograms.html
And also I recommend this book - The Machine Stops, a short futuristic story from 1909 about our systems completely shutting down in a society that relies on computers o.O’ from freaking 1909. hahaha
