As a final project I wonder if it would be acceptable to research the potential for
loss of stored data in digital archives and the potential ramifications to everyday
lives in the computer dependent world of some thirty to forty years from today.
Along with the possibility of potential data loss over time comes a need to anticipate
such an occurance and develop solutions to prevent such loss. The results of this
kind of phenomenon could be so devastating that the worst predicted fears of Y2K would
seem trivial in comparison.
