Yeah, for sure most information saved digitally right now will be lost. What I’m hoping for is a dedicated effort to continually carry forward and reliably archive certain vital things.
It’s also my hope that as technology progresses this process will only become easier to do and allow more info to be stored. (Assuming advances that I can’t imagine in the present.)
I’m not of the mind that because we have saved stuff digitally now, it will all be retrievable in the future. Like you said, even hard copies such as CDs are going to be unreliable in a short time.
