easier

taher and i were watching "the gospel of judas" on the national geographic channel, and apparently hundreds of hours went into piecing together these ancient documents- they needed to call in papyrus experts and carbon-dating technicians and biblical anthropologists and a host of other specialists, just to glean 15 pages of information from the confusion of the past.

it made me think about the internet- it's easy for anyone to learn about almost any culture nowadays- there are infinity-minus-one pages of information on the net, and many of these pages are dated. 500 years from now, anthropologists won't have to do any detective work at all to discover the world in 2006.

unless all the servers have disintegrated, i guess.
