Just about everything on the internet is archived. 25,000 years from now, someone will come across some random comment on YouTube, and think, "Holy crap--this guy really hated Snooki. Who the hell's Snooki?"
Can you imagine what the internet would be like now if it had been invented two thousand years ago? Jesus would've had a blog that would still be online today. People would've left comments.
Just imagine going to Jesus's blog and seeing a 2 millennium old comment. "Nice religion, douchebag. No one's going to follow some loser who can't even afford sneakers. You and your 12 Apostles are gay."
Jesus would've followed up with a Christian response and ended with, "Even though you seem to hate me, I still love you. Jesus will always love you."
And the other guy would've responded, "You're getting gayer and gayer by the minute. I don't care how many towns you go to. You and the Apostles will never spread the Gospel. The only thing you'll spread is AIDS."
I think Jesus's Christian attitude might've converted that guy. Because there aren't too many Christian-like people on the internet. I've never seen an exchange like "Drop dead, douche." Reply - "I love you." We need some sort of a modern internet Jesus. He should go from website to website just like Jesus went from town to town.
So almost everything on the internet sticks around. Which is good when it comes to a lot of things. But probably not when it comes to others. We should destroy some things that are on the internet. I don't think internet memes should make it past a decade or so. Do we really want someone to get Rick Rolled 25,000 years from now? I have a feeling that might lead to the destruction of the universe. We need to put some sort of Mission Impossible device on certain comments, blog posts, Facebook comments, etc. "Your message will self-destruct in ten days. No one needs to know your opinion of Snooki ten days from now."
But once again...
