But then again there are parallels with printing. Ancient texts printed on parchment can last a thousand years, but modern paper will have yellowed and turned to dust in a couple of hundred years.
And I have a ledger book from 1710 here whose paper is still brilliant
white and strong. The handwriting ink is still quite black too.
But some newsprint from 1870 or so is irrecoverably vanishing to dust.
