Walk with me for a moment.
The year is 2021. The Internet still exists and has evolved into something you and I can't fathom right now. Flying cars still haven't emerged yet. In fact, they finally broke it to us that it was a hoax all along.
One large part of the Internet still remains though - all the blog posts, YouTube videos, tweets, Flickr photos, and comments that were published in 2009.
Except the authors of all that 2009 media are now twelve years older. So are the viewers. Many of the viewers were babies in 2009. Now they're in 7th grade.
Chris Brogan's daughter is watching the video below and smiling at her dad from 12 years ago.
Mady and Cara Gosselin are watching the episode below and smiling at the day they made bracelets with their mom on TV.
Everything you and I publish online today will exist for an indefinite amount of time.
Your words are infinite. Your images are timeless. Your videos will remain.
There is no deleting.
Your kids are going to read this. Is that ok?
