As long as it is somewhat original, a new cat picture will never fail to make me happy. The Internet's quintessential use will always persist. Cat pictures.

Government researcher: we've invented a way to make our research stored redundantly across the country, were now safe from nuclear war destroying our intelligence system!

The real trick is to cryptographically embed important information into cat pictures and disseminate them; if you ever lose all your proper backups, millions of people on the internet will have saved and spread your cat-backups, just need to find the pictures again
