I always like to say, "If it happened before the internet, or there isn't an archive of it somewhere online, did it really happen??"

A huge ongoing problem for years, and in particular with recent generations, their ephemeral disdain for history, only existing in the now, discardable/temporary. It's sad, and also losing our history bit by bit, is a threat to our collective cohesion on a longer term scale. You can already see the smaller impacts of this in many spaces.
