I have been thinking lately about what would happen if Facebook and Tumblr and Twitter lose popularity and shut down and the archives of my youth are LOST FOREVER. How will my children know how cool and thrilling my formative years were? Am I going to have give them the urls? Is googling your grandma going to be the new digging around the attic?
Because of these reasons, I am starting a journal as a book to record what I do and tape receipts and tickets etc. and serve as physical proof that I exist.
