Technological knowledge becomes irrelevant extremely quickly. As I threw out tens of thousands of dollars worth of old software (allegedly the hottest software of the time), manuals, floppy disks, 230 MB removable disks, etc. It became very clear that all of that "knowledge" had no use or value in 2011. And that's just the computing side of the graphic arts history. Very few even care to hear the "stories" about the "old ways" of doing things. And those few can hardly comprehend what they've never experienced. Depth of knowledge is becoming extremely thin. And if any of you have tried googling some of the "old ways" or "old tools" of the graphic arts industries you've probably found, as I have, the information is not "out there." The books are ending up in the dumpsters; and we are dying. So - the knowledge will be "gone."
