If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true
I'd save every day like a treasure,,,"

Link rot is the phenomenon of hyperlinks tending over time to cease to point to their originally targeted file, web page, or server due to that resource being relocated to a new address or becoming permanently unavailable.
