That embarrassing home movie of you naked in the tub could still be around millions of years from now, along with your less-than-eloquent posts on Facebook and Twitter.Not to mention all of my less than eloquent posts on FR.

The data may be intact after a billion years, but the “language” and “syntax” of the data will be long-forgotten and the data will be incomprehensible to anyone later on... LOL...
Also, the “reader device” may not even be around any longer, either, not to say anything about the protocols for transferring the data to an intelligent device to “see” it...

What a great new medium. Isn’t it a shame what the guy’s first thought was when presented with this. The complete knowledge of man, and he’s focusing on ghastly home movies and twitter notes. Good grief!
