You mean you only need a dust free, air conditioned and humidity controlled storage facility? And special gloves and lights for handling them? And a way to keep the small rodents and insects out, of course.

This "digital media will be obsolete" is just silly scare tactics to get you to buy paperbooks. Backing up doesn't take much effort for such small file sizes.
