That’s why I mentioned specifically things which are updated through changes in technology.
I’m unsure if say, a special compact disc which were to survive intact and readable for 1000 years could be figured out on its own, but if we can maintain instructions on HOW they work, and keep that updated to the newest technologies and the newest languages, then a person who wanted to would be able to read it.
The key is maintaining and unbroken line of key information, and there’s nothing in the past we can look to to see if it’s feasible since it’s all new to us. Physical books were, and are pretty much, still a specialized thing, but these days just about anyone who wanted to could take old information and upgrade it to newer storage mediums. It’s just a matter of keeping the chain going.
