It never occurred to me before now but from here on out, there will probably always be some old part of the internet, crumbling and sparse, moldering and broken, populated by far fewer denizens than it was designed for.

I wonder if that'll just be the ever-fading "old folks" internet.

    Oh sure, there will always be museums and monuments with little slices of the internet that was, but for the most part, the urge to repurpose old resources to new endeavors means that some parts of the internet will always fade away. I don't know if we'll ever start preserving it perfectly but we certainly aren't there yet.
