Pogue Article from Scientific American

This is kinda old (Nov 4th), but didn't see it posted anywhere:

Quote:
You can still read a 200-year-old printed book. But the odds of being able to read one of today’s e-books in 200 years, or even 20, is practically zero.
Anyone else find that statement a bit silly? Especially from a tech writer. What is his assertion? That no conversion process could/would take place during the 200 (or 20) years from obsolete electronic formats to current ones?
