Blog 3: Internet Archive

As you stated, the creators of the Internet Archive are archiving everything they can because of the Internet's ephemeral nature. They are creating this online library to preserve and provide access to societies cultural artifacts, prevent the Internet and web information from dissappearing, to provide the public with free access to educational information, and to document history. The Archive captures information about anything it can, ranging from Web, moving images, texts, audio, software, and education. My favorite aspect of the website is it's access to classic films and documentaries. Three potential uses of the Internet Archive are finding online lectures from Universities, listening to recordings of books and poetry, and watching films. I think this site is a great project and will provide the public with information that may otherwise dissappear. It makes it more convenient to access this information and preserve our history.
