Also, go the other direction. A far advanced civilization (including a surviving Human one), lacks the ability to access or even read the data on the primitive computers.

Behind Abraham Lincoln’s head at Mt Rushmore is a Hall of Records carved into the mountain. While the Hall was unfinished there is a repository consisting of a teakwood box, inside a titanium vault, covered by a granite capstone. Inside the vault are sixteen porcelain enamel panels describing how Mount Rushmore came to be carved, who carved it, the reasons for selecting the four presidents depicted on the mountain and a short history of the United States.

Who is paying for this latest stupidity? The human race seems to be regressing intelligence-wise these days.

They may not even know what any of those things are and make wild guesses that become a meme in their time, like the Giza complex pyramids are Pharaoh’s tombs.
