preservation

the digital technology is not panacea
data are reproduced quickly,
but are ageing in a rapid speed as well

preservation is a big issue

not only is not information valid in an instant,
but it does not have to exist any more
or if then just on some obsolete media
how to preserve data and how to store them?
