So how will future historians and biographers piece together our lives and
times without bundles of diaries, paper letters and professional

citizen journalism across the web? And does the “grey literature” of
official reports, briefings and policy statements that are only published
online also risk being lost to the future? In a speech last week, Google’s
vice-president Vint Cerf warned that a whole century of digital material
could be lost

laissez-faire, unbridled competition.
They have occurred under the guidance of federal agencies, and under the
umbrella of federal regulations."
Senator Ted Kennedy, in defending trucking deregulation in 1978.
