Seriously dude, in 50yrs, are we even going to have anything that will even read CDs?

300 years? That's perfect. They will still be good when I'm real old.

I'll make sure I keep the receipt so my great-great-great-great-great grandchildren can return them for a refund if they don't last for the full 300 yrs.

yes, they kept my data safe for 400 years, and still going!!!

but seriously, other than time-capsule or alien "let's send them a copy of our constitution" type thing, what would you use these for?

I think it will be possible for anyone in the future to be able to recover data from just about any digital medium that lasts that long. After all, there are tools that make it possible to recover from pretty severe disk crashes now. I'm thinking they would have far better tools by then. They will just have to be willing to spend the time on it.
. But I would be embarrassed if they dug up my collection and they found a gold disk with my "Greatest Hits of Weird Al" compilation on it...

Here, have a :beer: !

We're using Carbon-14 based discs and are told that we'll still have 50% of our data after 5,730 years.

Cheers!
