About this work
Description
Into the future is about the hidden crisis of the digital information age. It asks if digitally stored information and knowledge will survive into the future. Will humans twenty, fifty, one hundred years from now have access to the electronically recorded history of our time? What happened to reel to reel? Can we still read those magnetic tapes from early Voyager probes into outer space? What about CD-Roms? And even Windows 2.2?
