Consuming Media part 1.

Dead Media Everywhere. "Curiously, the apex of lost media is in our own era. The problem cannot get worse than it is. The irony is that this is an era where unprecedented technological revolutions are taking place, and yet we're losing important information. This has to be as tragic as the burning of the Great Library of Alexandria around 47 BC.

The media are not the only problem. Far too many expensive devices have become useless overnight because they were never designed to do much more than be sold and forgotten." There's no doubt about it. The next frontier is fought in bits and bytes where data format is the next media delivery options that will consume media after media. At least the hackers will write tools to convert old bits into new bits.
