It's just like digital music or digital anything, it will survive while ever it is preserved and treasured. New large capacity hard drives are very inexpensive nowadays, so just back everything up!.. Simple!
More in question I would say, is how much digital media is actually valued in the same way we valued or photographs, slides, movies or record collection for example.
I used to think I was doing well having a record collection that run into several thousands. Nowadays I have over 500,000 tracks on my hard drive! Do I value them all in the same way I did my 45's? No is the simple answer. It's just too cheap, accessible and throw away to ever be valued in the same way I did using my pocket money as a kid to buy records or films.
I was DJ'ing up to 5 years ago and believe me digital DJ'ing is far easier and far more creative than vinyl ever was. That's not to say I don't like vinyl or all things analogue because I do, but the digital age we now live in gives perfect repeatable results every time a file is played.
For us 30/ 40 / 50 somethings, we are privileged to have lived in an era that has allowed us to use both and therefore weigh up the technical merits of all technological advancements so far. Wind the clock on another 50yrs and those kids featured on there will be reminiscing about the the good old Mac book pro with their kids and Grandkids chuckling away at them!
