These are the same sort of people who will put their paper books in the basement, where in five years they'll be more mold than paper.
The question isn't whether or not there are 150 year old books still around. Of course there are. The question is, what
percentage of 150 year old books are still around, vs. what percentage of electronic data will still be around in 150years. The former will be a rather smaller number than the latter. It's a
lot easier to preserve electronic data than paper books.
