How about paper? clay tablets? these media have passed the test of time. And phonograph records probably will outlast CDs.
Seriously, though - maybe somebody should be working on a storage format that will physically last for thousands of years, and will be easily read by future generations.

Do any of you happen to know what are the current and/or newest options for digital file migration? Meaning, somewhere down the road, let's say that CD/DVD storage of digital files becomes obsolete, what seems to be the new form for storing data? Currently, what are some of the optimum storage systems available?
Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
