Technology and society: Amid the explosive growth of digital content on the
internet, little thought has been given to preserving things for posterity.
Will historians of the future wish that web pages had been preserved more
carefully?

 TRACKING down early web pages can be a problem. *The Economist*’s first
website, for instance, was built by the paper’s California correspondent
and went live in March 1994. Eighteen months later, it was reconfigured and
brought in-house. All records of the original website were subsequently
lost. So much for the idea that the internet never forgets. It does.
