World Fossil Day 2025 extends the conversation beyond ancient bones to the digital footprints shaping our shared human story. From geological fossils to data archives, REMMY NWEKE, in this edition of Telecoms Clinic@ITREALMS, explores how technology, artificial intelligence, and telecoms infrastructure are redefining the meaning of preservation in the 21st century.

As the world marked World Fossil Day 2025 this week, the conversation extended beyond geology into the realm of technology, data science, and what might be called digital fossils, the enduring traces of human knowledge encoded in bytes rather than bones.

World Fossil Day, celebrated every October 15, was established by the International Palaeontological Association (IPA) to highlight the importance of fossils as keys to understanding Earth’s ancient life.

1.00   BACKGROUND

The Conference of the British Methodist Church announced Wednesday 30th June 2021 that same-sex couples will be allowed to get married on its premises. This followed debates on the topic at the Methodist Conference where the proposals to allow same-sex marriages were passed with 254 votes in favour and 46 against.

This follows in the footsteps of the Church of England which in Britain allows Same Sex Marriage in accordance with their statutory environment. It is instructive to note that for some Provinces of the Church of England this is not the case, as exemplified by the Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion) which stoutly rejected Same Sex Marriages and has rejected communion with mother church on these grounds exemplified in their non attendance of Lambeth Conferences to date.
