Hi Conch-L'ers! As we have had discussions in the past regarding
electronic data and its "future" value, I thought you might like to
watch the following program. This information appeared on another
(Medical History) list which I belong to and appears to be quite
interesting:
> -------------------------------------------------
> INTO THE FUTURE:
>
> ON THE PRESERVATION OF KNOWLEDGE IN THE ELECTRONIC AGE
>
>
>
> A film by Terry Sanders, produced in association with the Commission on
> Preservation and Access (a program of the Council on Library and
> Information Resources) and the American Council of Learned Societies,
> explores the issues behind the survival of digitally stored information
> into the future. It will air on PBS stations nation-wide on January 13
> 1998 at 10PM EST (check local listings).
>
> The program features insights from articulate shapers and thinkers of the
> Information Age, such as Peter Norton, founder of Norton Utilities; Tim
> Berners-Lee, father of the World Wide Web; John Seely Brown, chief
> scientist at Xerox Corporation; Michael Dertouzos, director of M.I.T.
> Laboratory for Computer Science; Deanna Marcum, president of the Council
> on Library and Information Resources; and Jeff Rothenberg, senior
> computer scientist for RAND Corporation.
