You mean, storing info in things like the Cloud?
We as a major civilization are one misstep away from losing a significant amount of our human knowledge, just like when the Library burned in Alexandria. How much info is actually committed to printed text somewhere in a safe, where it might survive a firestorm/asteroid/nuclear attack vs floating around amorphously on some hard drives somewhere...
