That said, data stays around forever, while 2nd graders eventually grow up. If you want a more likely example, try insurance companies.<p>Since you&#x27;re sticking by this please name a single thing a 2nd grader could do that literally anybody but their parents would give a shit about a week later, much less 10 years later?
