Many years ago I ead a science fiction novel by Robery Heinlein, called
Friday. Published in
1982, one of the characters makes the point...
"...we must now prepare the monasteries for the coming dark age. Electronic records are too fragile; we must again have books, of stable inks and resistant paper."
In the same novel, the same character said,
“When I was younger, I thought I could change this world. Now I no longer think so but for emotional reasons I must keep on fighting a holding action.”
I've always remembered these quotes, but if you want to be really scared about the way we're heading read Sagan's
The Demon Haunted World: Science as a candle in the dark. The rise and acceptance of psudoscience like astrology has me scratching my head.
