Way Back Machine

I have become fascinated with the Library of Congress series on the digital future. I strongly encourage you to visit this site and view the presentations.

The presentation from Dec. 13 concerned the potential of digitizing everything. One of the examples concerned keeping a record (over time) of the Internet. The presenter, Brewster Kahle, discussed the “Way Back Machine.” This is a fascinating project. I tried it with my original web site and it has my material back to 1997. Not that anyone but me might care about the origins of my web material, but the idea is fascinating when applied to other content.
