- smaudet 3y agoLarge size dvd drives also work today. But again, still need power and a computer/interface etc. Mesh network + reader device partially solves some of those issues, but it doesn't remove the need for fancy setups just to be able to read something.
- anonylizard 3y agoEven if we lose the ability to build readers, the understanding that these digital mediums contain valuable information will never be lost. It isn’t rocket science to build a room sized dvd reader if needed
- Someone 3y ago> It isn’t rocket science to build a room sized dvd reader It is. We have built rockets for 700+ years, a V2 reached space in 1944 and we went to the moon over half a century ago, over a decade before even the compact disc (1982). If society collapses completely, I think it will be decades, possibly centuries before we even consider trying to read these. At that time, many DVDs might not be readable by DVD players anymore.
