So let's say, hypothetically speaking, you have a hard drive with about a terabyte of storage available. Knowing an apocalypse would be imminent, what would you put on there before the internet goes down?

-Movies/TV shows?
-Information?
-Diagrams?
-Music?
-ebooks?
-computer programs?
-pictures?

Could you have the most valuable item in an apocalyptic/post-apocalyptic world?

if it was me, id put a hell of a lot of music, information and maps on the harddrive the info would consist of geographical info and the basic survival guides and info on how to build machenery and structures like houses bunkers and strongholds.
id try to download google maps to the device to give a good map layout and id also use navy charts aswell as militry maps, id also try put a detailde account of human life befor the appocalips.

I am the stone that builder refused
I am the visual
The inspiration

Ebooks, lots of movies, tons of music, games that have nothing to do with zombies. More music, recording of the past, tutorials or things i find around the internet.

THAT MUST REALLY DOES SUX! "It doesn't make sense, i know :D"

Okay, I'm gonna budget things a bit. I would have about 30 gigs of Music, about 3-5 gigs of geographic data as well as a program to read it(1-2 gigs), 10 gigs misc, 10 gigs devoted to entertainment, 20 gigs to translator and multiple copies of Rosetta stone in various languages, an operating system for the computer I'm using and lastly an E-copy of every how to manual or video I can find including schematics for common mechanical devices and shop manuals for all the more common vehicles.

So, you're saying I've fallen upon a puppet?

You do know a terabyte is 1,000 gb right? just making sure you no you can hold alot more, youtube has only 6 terabytes.

yeah I know, I just haven't figured out what to do with the rest of it. When I said I was budgeting, I meant I was showing a rough breakdown of what would be on the hard drive.

Yeah so I'd have all of that survival crap. But what everyone really wants to know is all of the fun stuff:
-Every season of The Office, Seinfeld, Family Guy, Psych, Friends, SNL, and South Park (more to be added later)
-Every Die Hard movie, Star Wars (IV-VI), oh god I have so many movies I'd need hours so I'll leave you with these two right now and post up more later on my laptop (Oh yeah and every Chris Farley movie)
-Game emulators and ROMs of course. Though the only good emulators are PSX and Gameboy ones. But I'd have most of those old-school classic games.
-I don't read as much as I should, but I guess there must be some prett good books out there I should download.
-Music is mostly Springstein, Aerosmith, KISS, Bob Dylan, Journey, Boston, Kansas, Muse, Smashing Pumpkins, Jimi Hendrix, and probably more, I'm going off from the top of my head.

Well hopefully you wouldn't lose it where something like that could happen. If that were the only one of its kind left, that alone would preserve the American culture and life back in the 21st century.

Either they would think we were barbarians, or a respectable foe. Imagine you were some warlike being from another world. What would you think about a race that had never been in a recorded war?
Anyway, it's really pointless trying to hide it because we have broadcast so much stuff over the airwaves about wars that any approaching spacecraft within 100+ light years is going to hear about it.

Well it could be, it's your preference. If it were me, I'd use a portable hardrive that connects via firewire 800 port for quick downloading.

Just picture the movie "The Book of Eli", but instead of a Bible (atleast I think it is), it's a hardrive. That's how valuable it'd be during the apocalypse/post-apocalypse.

My hard drive would do great, bunch of survival crap on it and general infographics crap. I could list it all but I would really rather not, plus a virus ate like 1/4 of all my pics and I haven't sorted through what crap I still have.

Plus funny pictures of animals, ya know, just because.
