Maybe we ought to go back to the old style of recording, but on titanium instead of vinyl for important stuff

How do we store and retrieve the data? Literally millions of bits/second are being recorded non-stop in millions of places simultaneously.

A significant problem might be deciding what is worth storing and what is not. A historian and a scientist might have very different views as to what is and is not important.
