When you look at ancient cultures, things like cloth and paper (even wood) have rotted away, leaving us to try to interpret entire civilizations from only their pottery or stone work.<br /><br />Digital technology is so ephemeral, and as Trooper already pointed out, we could lose access through advancement.

I was a history major and would have gone in archive work if I could have.
