What the Internet is lacking

I think the Internet is lacking some decent archive.  We have the Way Back Machine, but this isn't really any good, it's slow, it's buggy, uncategorised and theres no easy way to search old pages.

It would be a shame to have such a huge wealth of data and no way of easily referencing it from previous years.  I think the Internet is lacking some global archive, of properly organised data so it will not be lost for future years.

A lot of information is being lost for a variety of reasons, not being able to pay hosting costs, accidental deletions, disk space running out, and a lot more.  We could be loosing a lot of information.

I think there is space for a properly organised pay archive.  Important data is reviewed by various pannels and saved into the archive, then you pay to access it, with a small commission going to the source of the data to encourage data entry.  Then, as the archive reaches substantial size, generations in the future can learn about what we knew and how we developed, socialy, economicaly, environmentaly, you name it.

To me data on the Internet seems dangerously temporary and there is no central collection of information to provide a permament storage and reference for the future.

Though it may be fun to see in a few years how sites, and content were displayed I think it would not really be worth it to archive the complete internet. I imagine from 10,000 web sites, only one actually contains fact data, the others just display, categorize or interpret the data differently. Not much of the actual fact data should get lost, thus the data, that is obsolete may. Back in the days, the problem was storage, should not be really the problem these days though.

But to Gullaninas suggestion, having it as a payed service would not fly either. If only 1% would pay for it, you could be more then lucky so again you would have a big hole.
