(yes, that's a [[wikt:archivability|real word]]) this is more about data/info than computing. When all else fails, at the very least, ensure data can be easily copied and archived. This isn't just for tools, it's about any kind of data: personal memories, historical events, etc...

Universal truths, such as those found in math and physics, can be "extracted" and derived any time. But ''events'' are more unique, so those are in great danger of being forgotten (see also: [[wikipedia:Lost_media|lost media]]).

Universal truths, such as those found in math and physics, can be "extracted" and derived any time. But ''events'' are more unique, so those are in great danger of being forgotten (see also: [[wikipedia:Lost_media|lost media]]). You don't have to become a [[wikipedia:Digital_hoarding|data hoarder]], just focus on important data.

BTW, there's a common misconception that physical media is better than digital media. The main problem is [[wikipedia:Centralized_computing|centralized]] media (typically on the [[Cloud (service)|cloud]]). Physical media is ''still'' digital (unless it's analog, like magnetic tape or vinyl records), it's just outside of a device.
