i wonder what the most ubiquitous form of audio playback device is now
probably people's phones... i ask because i am trying to think of a way to help the permacomputer project store data in a format that would be used day-to-day.
the requirement of long-term data integrity is not a requirement, that will require some other medium. this question concerns more short- to medium-term storage.
ideally you would have a long term, well-engineered master copy, and then many cheaper, lossier copies made off that.
i figure something analogous to a cassette tape could work--audio data transfer is easily implemented in TTL circuitry, so it would make the permacomputer much simpler.
i wonder how one might store audio in the future? after a technological and ecological decline? maybe a lil mp3 player with a universal adaptor for any kind of drive, flash memory, smart card... old laptop hard drive?
