Im 30 and Ive found that as I get older, the desire to archive etc grows. I think it might be completely natural that teenagers and people in their early 20s may be less bothered. They are still changing quite fast, tastes havent become so fixed yet.
I might even go as far as to call it a survival mechanism to forget things from the past, when at such an age. There are certainly many teenage moments & clothes that I would rather not remember. Ahh the blog as an equivalent to mother causing embarresment by getting out the old family photo album when you bring a girlfriend home! It remains to be seen how well people storing elements of their lives digitally does in the longterm. I think if I was worried about not losing anything, I would have to use a service/my own server where I could backup the entire site and keep it on a variety of different digital storage devices. I dont bank on any particular internet server surviving the medium-long term, nor do I necessarily expect that the future will bring the sorts of continued technological progress that we've seen to date. Things may go backwards, and we'll have to rely on our good old biological memories etc. I'll be happy enough if I have food and some warmth in 20 years, in the grand scheme of things I can live without anybodies blogs and videoblogs surviving.
