Digital preservation

I often think about how well the internet can preserve data. It's not that rare that I'll stumble upon some forum with messages from the early 2000s. Even when something does eventually become inaccessible, there's always a chance that the data is out there somewhere, resting on someone's hard drive and just waiting to be released again. I wonder if the things I've created will outlive me through the internet and if there are gonna be people who enjoy them even after I'm gone. As weird as it is, this is what gives me motivation sometimes to finish a project and put it out there. So that it may continue to reach people for the years to follow and perhaps bring a part of me back to life.
