Is the internet really forever?

Everyone always says, whatever you post on the internet will stay there forever. Well, until Zack Gage came along, that might have been true. In his project called "Temporary.cc" each time a "unique visitor" visits the site, a piece of information from the site is deleted. So instead of collecting information, such as every website is known to do, "Temporary.cc" will eventually "fall apart entirely," ultimately "becoming a blank white website." The way this whole website works is that every time a visitor visits the site the website deletes part of itself and thus this changes "the way browsers understand the website's code and create(s) a new composition through self-destruction. "

This project caught my eye because it is definitely different than any other website on the internet. Today in the digital age, people would prefer to save something electronically because it will always exist, unless some tragic crash or some other disaster occurs. Computers are not designed to intentionally delete its own material, which makes this project all the more interesting. The end result will be the deletion of the entire project, which can be said of the more typical pieces of artwork such as paintings or other medias, but one would think if it was electronic it could live forever. I guess Zach Gage has taught us wrong.
