You're assuming a connection to the internet.
We are getting very close to being able to assume that. Most of the
US, Asian, and European population, anyway. Even the bums have
internet connected phones these days.
And, 20 years from now, who will still have the email?
?Will the url
still point to anything meaningful? ?I have handwritten notes in my
files from people who have long departed this vale of tears. ?Where
will similar URLs be?
What a horrible situation for archivists and historians!
How is this different from changing phone numbers? Changing mail
addresses? Changing business associations? Changing names (mostly for
the fair sex)? How many people *really* keep all their handwritten
notes organized?
I think you are asking for too much.
Chaos then, now and forever more!
