A lot of data from the 1980s effectively no longer exists becuse it was stored on media no longer usable, or where there is no equivalent today. If you think this is not a problem then you are very complacent. We are not talking about in two years but perhaps ten years or more. A major problem with proprierty formats and all digital technology. I have 5" floppies but not hardware to read them, sure not impossible but not easy to access. Also you do not need to port or reformat a paper book.
