This means that - in a few hundred million years - forensic archaeologists from the unthinkably distant future will still be able to read our posts.
Will this inspire us to create threads worthy of the ages: - to spin skeins of digital thought that will amaze and inform generations yet to be?
Let’s see how that works out :0)

I envision a future debate wherein one candidate pulls a shard of broken glass and screams at the other: “Tax returns? You want to see my tax returns? I’ll show you my tax returns. Here are my tax returns!!”

Fast forward to the future when new civilization emerges from the ashes of ours after having been extinguished for many thousands of years and finds remnants of the digital age.
It will be as perplexing to them as the great mysteries of antiquity are to us today.

Big deal.
I've had an alien implant that uses that technology for years already.

And how far behind that will be aluminum embedded plexiglass discs? Oh . . . . .wait. Nevermind.

Is it possible that this method was used by a civilization of the the distant past, and all we have to do is look for the glass?

They'd probably make ceremonial jewelry out of the pretty rocks.
