I enjoyed the recent BBC4 series 'The Power of the Past' presented by Richard Miles. He finished the series at a landfill sites making the comment that never before in the past had such a massive human footprint been left behind for posterity. And whilst it was hard to imagine the people of future millennia would believe the 'stuff' in our landfill sites was important to us, he closed by saying that what was certain was that they would use the lens of their own values and belief systems to study whatever we leave behind.


Hard drives (from landfill )will be the a great insight into some apects of all strata of society possibly better than the wonderful Mass observation that ran from the late 30's until the 60's .
