FYI--
Into the Future: On the Preservation of Knowledge in the
Electronic Age
A FILM BY TERRY SANDERS
NARRATED BY ROBERT MACNEIL
AMERICAN FILM FOUNDATION, 1997
JANUARY 13, 1998 ON PBS
10:00pm (Eastern Time)
(check local listings for actual air time)
"Into the Future" addresses the issues of preserving information with
current technology, and planning for future technologies. Books stay
legible for much longer than the current digital technology will stay
current. Digitizing information which is currently only available on
paper is one area of focus; how and whether to preserve information
as fleeting and as constantly changing as the Web is another.
The above film is reviewed in the January 1998 issue of Scientific
American at page 110. We did not request permission to reprint the
review, so we will not quote from it in this email. Here is the URL
