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.
