  • Digital data is extremely short lived. Unless it’s being maintained well and copied, it will decay regardless of storage medium fairly rapidly. And as you point out data interface techniques are themselves quite short lived. Storing data as something accessible without specialist technology, so plainly readable, instructions on how to build the reader and decode the data, etc.

    Future technology may improve this by having historians interested in historical records wanting ways to recover it, at least.
