As in "The Machine Stops"? Lots of fiction contemplates what would happen without the technology we've come to rely on - I liked "Fade Out" by Patrick Tilley.
The problem of being able to read current formats on future devices is well recognised - frequently raised in relation to DRM (which makes it difficult to convert).
