lumpenprol Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Do you think parents will bequeath a "family hard drive" to their children in the future, much as they do other heirlooms today? The thing that made me think about this is the massive amount of texture and object reference I've amassed during my career in 3D. In total it probably amounts to months of photograph taking and culling through the internet. Would hate to see it go to waste... Not to mention Yegg's gif collection...

lumpenprol Posted May 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 well if you make music, i'd guess it'd be the same as passing along a library of samples you painstakingly collected over the years...it would be useful to another musician, no doubt... thinking along those lines, I wonder if when Aphex dies his hard drives will be preserved as notebooks or sheet music were preserved in past eras...

patternoverlap Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 I'd been keen on this idea if hard drives didn't fail so often. Someone needs to make archival quality hard drives, or at least some kind of way of storing them that prolongs their life. Maybe solid state will improve upon that.

I don't know of any consumer level archival quality devices, but I know there are consumer archival services. I also know that there are a ton of methods used for preservation in the business and commercial sector of computer storage. A combination of Using RAID arrays and regular tape backups. I think redundancy is still the most accepted method of preservation and protection of digital data.

Guest A/D Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 we already have them in my family . . 20 and 40 meg hard drives from back in the day, containing such gems as arctic adventure, commander keen 1 and my grade school projects.

lumpenprol Posted May 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 It's interesting to think that a whole industry of semi-speculative biography of famous figures may die out if we have access to everything a person ever saved to disk. It's not like someone would write a thick book on the question of Abe Lincoln's purported homosexuality if they could open up his hard drive and find "Naughty Woodsmen Vol. 23." On the other hand, this may open up a cottage industry in raiding famous people's hard drives.
