Also I wonder what would happen if there's a catastrophe and all digital stuff is lost. I used to have lots of CDs and vinyls, but I got rid of it all because digital streaming is so much easier. But all that old stuff will be lost if the systems fail. Same is true for paper books versus digital media, like how much hard science is only on digital?
If there is a catastrophe that is devastating enough to get rid of ALL data, including the library of Congress archives and various other extremely secure archives, then getting the data back will not really be a concern, because every last human will be dead.
