Cracked plastic?  Artifacts so old that they can no longer be read,as the
old machines or applicable O/S are all gone?

I could go on, but negatives from 1850-whatever are still directly useable.
Try that with your 2008 digital files in 2158........

Yes, digital is good, but if you are interested in preservation, I doubt you
will find it in consumer digital.  Museum digital?  Maybe.

Just plain not likely......

Capa's CD's...  ?
