Tweets for Future Reference

Historical evidence is changing everyday because of technology. Someones twitter status can be used as historical evidence, which i think is ridiculous because it will effect how people will live their personal lives. For example if someone knows their tweets will be saved and may be used as evidence in the future they may  have second thoughts about what they write.

This makes historians job in the future significantly easier because everything in the future will be organized in a specific order. Historians will be able to find whatever they are looking for in the archives easily, but than again they will have much more information to look through because the archives are growing so drastically. I am curious to see how things will change because of the “technological evidence.”
