Dang! I thought people were worried about world hunger, war and other such trivial stuff.
Sarcasm aside, now that we know that most of our data will be obsolete in X years [ie, we've learned from the hubris of those who thought that the NASA tapes would be around forever], it seems that we'll do a better job of saving/converting what is important.
Of course, all of this ignores basic human nature. Which is to put off to the last minute[or later] what should have been done 2 weeks ago. I only started backing up my computer after losing 2 years of pictures.
