I imagine future archaeologists will have fun digging them up and guessing what they might have been used for.
No need for them to guess, with the www, it’s here forever more. That’s why time capsules are certainly a thing of the past, anything you want to find out about is a search away.vsonix said:

But even if we save the most important bits of Internet onto hardwearing crystal media, there's no guarantee that those left after the cataclysm would ever learn to decipher the data.

It's used as an anaesthetic in hospitals - Entonox (gas and air) for procedural pain, child birth, burn dressing changes etc. The little canisters are giving people a high lasting less than a minute. It's caused a major problem in hospitals as the gas cylinders and the delivery sets are now being stolen pretty frequently leaving staff a bit of a headache to find sets when needed. Ambulances are also being broken in to in order to steal the cylinders.

Reminds me of when I asked for one of those little tyre pressure gauges for my birthday about ten years ago...
My (very respectable) OH was given the third degree by the guy behind the counter in the car parts place as "people keep buying them to do drugs with".
To this day I am none the wiser as to what and how.

Likewise, none the wiser. Though in the interest of general forum amusement, an ex girlfriend, long time ex, came home from her shift at the hospital one evening with a fit of the giggles as the last patient had been some old geezer with one of those tyre pressure gauges firmly lodged up his old chap. Apparently he was a regular and had fancied a change from his usual problem object, namely the inside of a Bic biro point end first.
