>IOW, what works of literature or music that we had prior to the "digital age" have we lost?Umm... Greek plays, the singular contents of the Library at Alexandria...
>What works that we had at the beginning of the "digital age" have we lost in the transition to new storage media or software?
Well, it isn't all about "works". As the article clearly states, the concern initially is with "data", as on tape etc.
>The whole issue is bogus.
Well that's one opinion! We in the recorded-sound preservation forces are gravely concerned, however.
>If we ever get to the point, as a civilization, where we are no longer transferring data to new technology or cannot access the the technology, the loss of such works will be the least of our worries.
Hardly the "least", but we must all pick our battles. What's yours?
