Actually that's inaccurate. From the birth of book people write to fight against loss of information . My generation which is called generation of internet has got so much information exactly because every piece of information is uploaded in a universal library. All past generations have been inheriting fewer and fewer information from their previous. But our generation is the generation that almost none information is lost and in a sense past people haven't had acess to information that we may not have access to today. But that's my perspective :P .

you don't have information that was discovered hundreds of years ago or thousands of years ago information that was lost so long ago is not gained because we have Internet

You are right. We have information that is hundreds or thousands years old but it's too little.But this also is the fault in past societies. They didn't have a good way to transfer information and that's maybe a reason we don't have access to this information. Hundreds or thousand of years ago most people passed on techniques or art of professions on their children but had something happen to those children (e.g die in a war) newer generations couldn't get those contextual skills.

yes because they're dead we can't get the information from them so the information is lost the information died when they died

I doubt it. Name one thing that humans used to know but no longer know. You can't can you? So you might be wrong We might know everything that was ever known.

there have been riots and invasions where prestigious libraries were burned and the information within has been lost ever since of course I can't name it it's been lost can't name something that has been lost that's like asking me to name a forgotten city how would I know a city that has been forgotten? plus I said may and it's a very probable situation

I feel like my reply comment has a haughty tone but I didn't intend any haughtiness just pointing that out

not at all - of course you could not name them, and yes that doesn't mean they don't exist. I was pulling your leg a bit. However I think the value that services like youtube have brought to the preservation of know-how should not be overlooked

I mean when centuries ago original books that couldn't be found elsewhere they didn't have that preservation then once it's on the internet it's pretty much there forever but it wasn't like that before and there's no way (as of right now) to get those pieces of information back

I agree accept that I cannot agree because I don't know if this is true. I can assume it may be, but also maybe we figured it all out again or it was passed down and we just don't know it. And by the way youngster, were did you go and how did you get back. Can you imagine all the "information" that would be lost if fuzala vanished from Amirite? you just think about that before you go disappearing again.

lolol even if I disappeared the information would be there I just wouldn't get "credit" for it because my mountains of jumbles would just be "anonymous" I disappear from here a lot gives me a chance to miss the words and the people

and I thought about that part where you said that we might have gained the information back in another way and I didn't actually disappear I was doing this: http://amirite.com/775164-going-on-a-downvoting-spree-helps-us-get-rid-of-bad-energyfeelings-amirite/1965391
