Social media is a good way for us to create history. Rather than looking towards things that transpired in the past, we can create the present. Every news article shared, every tweet archived, and every comment given adds to the narrative of history. Right now, there are more people on Earth than there have ever been at one time before, and this number is only growing.
As we move through time, the things we leave on social media create many stories that will one day be the past. Future historians will have a far easier time researching the 2000s than present ones do researching past centuries, simply because with a more literate population, there is more record left of our lives and actions.
