Jung Team.
In the 'olden days,' when a man was traveling and might encounter a mutual friend, another man might say 'Remember me to Jim,' or something along those lines. The closest thing we have today is when you log on to web-based email and the service gives you an option to save the password on the machine you are using, inviting you to 'Remember me.'
The collective unconscious of Jung, the idea that we have shared memories as a race left over from prehistory such as 'Stay away from fire; its real hot' has been replaced with a collective web-based unconscious. The Web is now the depository of the great Mental Canon of Humanity, receiving all (or most) thought, cataloguing and making available information to interested parties.
A website called archive.org (correct me in a comment if the url is flubbed) is dedicated to archiving all web content. Not simply providing a searchable database of sites like a search engine, but a full archive of all web content. Ever. These thorough, sainted souls 'take a picture' of the web regularly, archiving all content and storing it on (massive) servers Somewhere in Idaho. So if you need to see what was on a given site in 1999, even if that site is in the Binary Scrapheap, all you need to do is look to these people and hope they Got It.
Somewhere, Carl Gustav Jung is happy.
