I know, and I think it's a shame. What will my children's children be able to 
look at to see their past/ our present? A box of hard drives, sd cards, and 
memory sticks that have no possible way to access them. They will be in the 
same boat as the aliens that found our highly advanced LP record with very 
important messages on it.
Would you be able to put the program you create on a flash drive for the 
classmates? Many TVs, and attached gaming consoles have a USB port.
