Bebo Games Official Launch: The Next Frontier for Virtual Goods?
Essentially, what you are worried about has always been... we always have lost and always will lose bits of "us" as time progresses. The funny thing is that the future won't care... it will route around the loss and construct it's history based on what has survived. History doesn't represent truth or accuracy as much as represents our current perspective.
I think at some basic level we all understand this and that is what drives the angst you're feeling. We all want to remembered as we are... we all want the truth of this whole thing to sustain. We all want future history to be as accurate as possible. Yet we know instinctively it's just not possible.
