Do we have anything to leave behind?

Greetings, I have not posted in a very long time, but I have still been reading threads on this website.

I have no additions to prove that anything will happen on 2012 and I have no theories to say what I think will happen.
But, let's go with the idea that something will like how about a mass power outage that will last for a long time along with the collapse of civilization.

Hypothetically speaking let's say that were to happen.
Would not most of our information will be 'trapped' on the internet? (perhaps we could get it again in the future or maybe not) Atleast for a while, information would be left unaccessable for many people.
Does anyone here think it might be a good idea to back up some information and have a hard copy?

I have another question which relates to the title of this thread.
What if a large portion of our civilization collapses or is wiped out. Will we have an accurate written account for possible future civilizations to pick up and learn about us?

Is this of any importance to anyone on this forum?
I am not going to share my opinion really. It was a thought that crossed my mind is all. Apologies if this has been brought up before.

Good day/night to you.

I think future generations will learn that our biggest downfall was greed and the thirst for power. Also they will learn that the cover ups and lies hampered anyone who might have made a difference.
Perhaps they will learn that service to others befor self is the only meaningful way to progress as a people. Unfortunately history only seems to repeat it self. I don't know what it will take for humanity to learn. So many people have given of their selves, their time, their service, their knowlege, but it wasnt enough. There were too many takers and not enough givers. Im talking about people who gave of themselves freely and not because they were made to do something by the government. It just wasnt enough. You cant blame it on anything but greed.

They'll see that we worshipped at temples with Golden Arches...had one in everytown. That we offered up a food to the gods that was eternal...a form of cake with candied fruit in it. Wendy was a goddess we offered meat patties to.

^ Yes, dude this is really a post. I do not have a pipe.
I simply asked a question and I see to you this is not on your list of top priorities. Perhaps it holds no importance to anyone that physically writting things down is becoming a thing of the past, but there's no harm in bring it up is there?
I am very relaxed. ATS.com is a very relaxing place to be.
