    Funnily enough, digital signals/data can actually be preserved perfectly and indefinitely because of its property perfect regeneration. Most efficient way to do it is to replicate it before it decays below regeneration. That one star review can outlast any stone tablet if it keeps on being copied.

        It started as a joke but nowadays more and more old memes and screenshots can only be found in conditions like the last panel.

      Sure. But I thought it was assumed that we were talking about writing that would survive without any additional interaction for extended periods.

      If nobody is there to refresh the digital data, tablets, and papyrus, two of these will last millennia, one won’t even make two centuries.
