The idea the Internet Archive has helped the internet become the
Library of Alexandria version too can we make all the books music
video web pages software ever made by people available to everybody
that wants have access to it. Technologically we can do this.
We started out by collecting websites because we thought that was very
ephemeral media that was disappearing from the world. But we soon
moved on to other kinds of published work. We're trying to collect
that and bring it into one place one library that serve the entire
world.
It actually turns out to be quite doable. A book is about a megabyte,
and the largest library in the world is the library congress with
26-28 million books. That makes 28 terabytes. 20 terabytes isn't that
much and you can apply that over and over again. Youtube or something
like that or Flickr you go for all of it is too big for us. So we just
try to find the parts that are referred to by others. And we archive
those.
So where we are as a former church. And the reason why we bought this
building was it because it matched our logo. And so we thought we'd
flatten the floor make it into a library. But what a library looks
like? As blue and clear as we left the pews. So I'm sitting on a pew
right now. And-- I'll we use it for working for having
performances. We even have a little statues of all of the people that
have worked at the Internet archive for three years or more in this
space, to make it a sort of a community place of for open Internet
conversation to happen.
When we started to collect the web most people cut know, you're either
crazy or kind of dumb or even trying. Why bother?
The average life of a web page is a hundred days before it's either
changed or deleted. So if we didn't collect it most of the web would
be gone now. I think we have an idea in our heads that once it's been
put out there is it's always going to be there. Will never disappear.
That is absolutely not true. I'd say we're information activists. We
are people to believe in the power of openness. The key thing about
the Internet and the World Wide Web is that it's us. It's all just us.
We've built a trusting celebration that is the worldwide web over the
last 20 years.
