Perpetual Blogs!

Been a while since I posted on this blog. I used to be prolific but have been spending time elsewhere and have not been inspired to write poetry, stories, memories or political rants on this site. It is not accessed by anybody often, so what I write here is mostly for my own record just so I don't lose it into the void. I would suppose that since Google seems to have unlimited memory space and will continue to expand as it gets loaded up with all the world's knowledge and all of the blogosphere's garbage, whatever I write here may exist for eternity. I bet though that at some point Google will put a drop dead time frame on individual blogs that will cause them to be erased if not used after a time. Maybe it will start at 100 years and as the sheer volume of bytes starts to overwhelm whatever system exists then perhaps the number of years will start to drop, and at some time long after my demise, all these memories and experiences and fair poetry will disappear erasing any chance for further human interaction.

Perhaps I can leave it to my son to continue during his life, and on and on! A perpetual blog passed from father to son or daughter down through the ages of my lineage. Just think what a historical picture of life that would provide over the generations.

The internet has changed the world and is still in its infancy. Future generations will be able to easily touch the past and have an understanding of their ancestry and the world that has past through blogs reflecting the personalities of individuals who spent the time to record a portion of their life on the internet.
