Interesting article from the NYT on data degradation. I hadn’t heard of this issue before and part of me suspects that it may just be a money spinner for the technology industry. My guess would be that data degrades very slowly but platform and hardware obsolesence is obviously a real issue.
It gives rise to a question that I have pondered for some time: How much does data weigh?
