&gt; “The interesting thing is that, at that time [in the 1990s], it was easier to archive the web because everything was flat web pages,” said Alexander Rose, the executive director of the Long Now Foundation, an organization dedicated to establishing a framework for long-term thinking on a scale of 10,000 years. “So if you did save something, your chances of being able to see it and use it would be vastly better than if a company folded today, with deep back-ends of content-management systems like Drupal and Ruby and Django and all these things. The pages are not actual pages.”<p>This right here is something I wish all the folks building web-apps-to-display-pages would think about. It&#x27;s straightforward to archive HTTP resources; it&#x27;s not at all easy (nor, really, practical) to archive every API response used in building these dynamic sites. Web apps are fine, for what they are, but please, <i>please</i>, for posterity&#x27;s sake: don&#x27;t use dynamic content if you can use static content instead.
