How likely is digital vs analog storage to be recovered 1,000 years from now?
Estimating the likelihood of recovering digital versus analog storage after 1,000 years involves assessing their durability, environmental resilience, and technological compatibility over such an extended period. Both storage types face significant challenges, but their prospects differ based on material longevity and the need for supporting technology. Below, I’ll break it down systematically, considering physical degradation,…
