Thanks to what has been called "silicon scaling” the process power of a 1980s vintage mainframe computer now fits on miniscule silicon chips that can be embedded in any number of capture devices from complex remote sensors to consumer digital cameras. Digital storage devices and media have benefited from similar performance improvements and cost declines. Large organizations routinely add terabytes of storage capacity, and more and more individuals can afford laptop and desktop computers with tens of gigabytes of storage. One might suspect that archiving and preserving digital information would become easier and cheaper as a consequence of these improvements. But from a long-term preservation perspective, there is a dark side to the rapid growth in digital information. The technologies, strategies, methodologies, and resources needed to manage digital information for the long term have not kept pace with innovations in the creation and capture of digital information. © 2004 by K.
