How much do you value your data? There are no standards that last. So you have to convert your files on a steady basis. If they are non-executable files. (i.e. e-books, music, pictures) You will just have to run them thru a conversion program every so often, to keep up with the new standards. But most people spend more time buying toilet paper than taking care of their data. That's why NASA has such troubles today, nobody valued the old data at all. not enough to even copy it to a new machine, years ago. Same thing happens with people; no backup, no copying, no nada. Nothing it ever supposed to wear out. But the buy cars every few years...
