Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path

Helping future generations remember and relearn the science, history, art, and literature of the past could be the way back to a future without computers or digital information. This column is a longer version of a talk I gave at the annual meeting of the Society of American Archivists in August 2018. The panel was titled, “Dinosaur Footprints: Archiving and Preservation in the Anthropocene,” and it explored how human civilization’s impact on the environment may affect our professional behavior and culture in the short term and long term.
