with increasing reliance & dependence on digital media as an information and knowledge storage vessel, is mankind risking losing it all in the event of a global catastrophe?
would there be enough discernible records for the potential survivors, or would the majority of modern technology and knowledge be wiped away and need to be re-discovered in the distant future if at all?
