Bit Rot

What will happen to old media? Like ancient video formats, or Adobe Flash games. Or software (games, art, etc) for obsolete progamming languages. Do you think people will preserve it, or will it just be forgotten forever?

Right now, we try to preserve cave paintings and pottery of ancient cultures. I think that, for the sake of history, we need to preserve old technology too.

>Adobe Flash games
well archive.org probably has a few collections of them but swfchan also a bunch of flash files archived too and hopefully forever. I'm also pretty certain that there's someone archiving the packages that adobe puts out for the flash player and there's also plenty of torrents for cracked versions of flash from the CS6 to CC. Hopefully those don't require the adobe servers to be up in order to install. I don't know if they're doing it right now but if something like that does happen someone will probably make an open source program similar to Flash.
