The Singularity is Near by Ray Kurzweil

Information lasts only so long as

someone cares about it. The conclusion

that I've come [to ...] is that there is no

set of hardware and software standards

existing today, nor any likely to come

along, that will provide any reasonable

level of confidence that the stored

information will still be accessible [...]

decades from now.
