Some of my ancestors were interested in genealogical research and compiling content, but most were consumers of the content. I inherited a huge box of photographs and papers from one great grandparent--of course all readable. As it sits, with my digital content, if it sits dormant for decades, like my great grandmothers history box, it will not be very readable. So... How do we prepare our content for a future generation that just might not be the next generation? There might be a couple of ways to look at this.
