@danhon People are like "oh mien gott TV reruns from 20 years ago could be lost forever! This is literally 1984, but worse!"

Absolute hoarder mentality. Do you guys have piles of old newspapers in your houses as well?

Not personally, but I'm quite certain that my national archive will have microfiche of all of them.

Just like I don't need access to the original sources of the Persian works that underlie the maths I use on a daily basis, it's good to know that they are still available.

Just like with newspapers we can have a discussion if some of these things are worth preserving, but I don't want to make that call and decide what will be seen as important in a century.
