Will our grandkids, great grandkids, etc. stalk our social media someday?

1 Answer

Answer :

Absolutely. I inherited both my grandmothers’ book collections and find it fascinating to read their margin notes. Old letters are another gold mine, but I don’t have many of those, unfortunately. I’m sure the current and future versions of these things, like blogs and other social media, will be equally treasured by (at least some) descendants and will be far more numerous thanks to the easier saveability of digital info.
