A History and Future History of BuriedintheNoise-dot-com

Novemberish 2002
I arrive from the future. Occasionally questioned on account of my bizarre fashion choices and brazen flaunting of various horrible futuristic killing devices, I am nonetheless largely ignored by society as intended. Safely allowed to infiltrate universities and governmental positions, I create BuriedintheNoise-dot-com.

December 2002-April 2003
Generous content is churned out. Some appears humorous, some harmless gibberish; all coded specifically to be efficiently harnessed by modern search engine technologies.

November 2009
The robots come. Only information survives. BuriedintheNoise-dot-com content, long forgotten by society, is retained on Human Archive Drive 6A.

Year #2AC5FF
Robots develop emotional ability, grow nostalgic for days of human occupation of planet. Human memorabilia sells at an efficient (though astonishing) rate. Using DNA samples recovered from humans encased in ancient buildings, the race is re-created for intended use as pets.

Year #2AC622
Humans turn out to be much more intelligent than anticipated. Soon the robots realize that the most common instance of preserved human was that of graduate students trapped in libraries, so shut off from society that they were largely unaware of the apocalypse until it had been well underway.

Year #2AC62D
Human descendants of ancient graduate students reconquer the robots in a manner both intelligent and handsome. The effort to recover human history begins.

Year #2AC631
A Google search of Human Archive Drive 6A mistakenly interprets BuriedintheNoise-dot-com content as sacred text. Its teachings create a world of peace and remarkable etiquette. The librarian responsible for successfully locating the site is sent back to the past to ensure its creation and sustainability. He arrives in the year 2002, in time for dinner.
