#^The Internet Is RottingToo much has been lost already. The glue that holds humanity’s knowledge together is coming undone.
They say that once something is on the Internet, it is there forever. Well, no, not really. For example:
The first study, with Kendra Albert and Larry Lessig, focused on documents meant to endure indefinitely: links within scholarly papers, as found in the Harvard Law Review, and judicial opinions of the Supreme Court. We found that 50 percent of the links embedded in Court opinions since 1996, when the first hyperlink was used, no longer worked. And 75 percent of the links in the Harvard Law Review no longer worked.
