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...
