While I will quickly agree that most "blog" content is uninspired drivel, there is an opportunity for history to record the life of the common man. If this data is saved (cached) and passed along, future historians will have a wealth of information from which to develop an accurate picture of what life was like at the turn of the century. Now, do we, the first citizens of the new millennium, want to be remembered as the people we sometimes portray ourselves to be? Probably not, but when has history ever been kind to the masses?
