A quote from an archivist at the Powerhouse Museum........."digital information lasts forever, or five years......whichever comes first"
This is something I have experienced......being a muso for many decades, a bit over 20yrs ago I ultimately set up a recording facility (downstairs} to record my son's band, a fairly expensive 16 track h/disc recorder, etc,. etc. All was good for a couple of years, then things started to disappear off the h/drive, we were fortunate to source a 1" 16 track R2R tape player from a local radio station and I transferred all the digitally stored music to tape.
I could waffle on about digitally stored or printed photos versus "traditionally" printed but I wont.........I still have all my traditional processing gear and I know which one will last longest.
Cheers.
