Immortal Data?
Lance Ulanoff of PC Magazine asks: Could Microsoft’s Immortal Data plan reconnect the future with our past?
Pondering all this, it occurs to me that digital data preservation is a unique and incredibly new phenomenon of our times. For two millennia, data was stored on physical objects: stones, walls, papyrus, nonacidic paper, black-and-white film and microfiche stored in relatively dry environments, and color photos (in albums and frames). Most of these have and could last for centuries: Our historians learned about ancient man by interpreting ancient text, examining Egyptian tomb walls, and deciphering hieroglyphics.
