I hear there are others like this, but things like this are really interesting, aren't they?

This is what remains as a result of people in the past trying to pass something on to future generations—so what can we leave behind for future generations?

There is a tendency these days to place too much importance on digital data rather than this kind of information, and so

See you later.
