Interesting computerworld article on the preservation of digital data. See: http://bit.ly/d1TGT9
An excerpt:
"With the odds of digital survival being so low, and with so much information originating in digital form, 'we could be facing a digital dark age 50 years from now, and future scholars will not be able to understand our culture,' says Andy Maltz, director of the science and technology council of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences...'There is no answer to the core technology issue at the moment, which is that our infrastructure does not take the need for long-term preservation into account,' says Maltz."
