Time travel and what's left behind

An interesting post from Alex Halavais.

I have a feeling that the web will gradually shift from being something that needs to be archived (and the Internet Archive is the vanguard here), to being self-archived—think the kind of versioning control found on wikis. I have the feeling that the future time traveler will be turning to archives of the web to find out what was in the New York Times by looking on the Web.

Reminds me of the Google Futuristic View.

Where do you think folks from the future will look back to, in order to find out about us?

Will they even look back?
