> Who gets to decide what should be saved? Who gets to decide historical worth?
Even if someone tries to decide what should be saved or what might be worth something, it's really hard to figure out what will be rare/unknown in the future -- if you can figure that out, you can probably make a fortune hoarding something like Beanie Babies to resell down the road.
There's a collection of random snapshots that someone took in a mall in the early 90s [1] that pops up on imgur and reddit every now and then. They were originally taken to compare malls across America, but now they're actually interesting from a cultural/historical perspective.
