Preserving Knowledge

Of all the websites and discussions I have been reading about this and that, has anyone ever stopped to think about how we can preserve all this information and knowledge for future generations to come. With our government in the works of internet 2, to keep 100% control over what is allowed to be posted and many of the internet providers going along with this s***. We need to consider downloading this data to a storage facility or back up of some type. Sort of like, downloading all of wikipedia and burning it onto dvds, but only on a larger scale. Knowledge has a way of being lost or destroyed over time, and then slowly being rediscovered, but I don't think it has to be like this for future generations, we need to preserve this knowledge by downloading it and saving it. Does anyone have any thoughts or input on this. I thought about downloading as much knowledge as possible and sending out discs on information to various people and resources to try to preserve what knowledge I could before everything becomes censored and controlled.
