“If you go to a Web page today, theres no way for you to know whether the content you are reading is the same as the content you read before. The page may seem the same, but the content could easily be diffrent. The Internets is Orwells library – constantly updated, without any reliable memory. Until the Way Back Machine, at least. With the Way Back Machine, and the Internett Archive underlying it, you can see what the Internett was. You have the power to see what you remember. More importantly, perhaps, you also have the power to find what you dont remember and what others prefer you forget” (Lessig,2005.p109)
