And if you need to once again locate a source you found but did not use in your paper 20 years ago, you can just stick your 5 1/4-inch diskette in your computer and pull it up on WordPerfect.

Oh wait, we don't have the technology to do that. Some programs have even gone so far as to chainge their Save icon since noone uses even a 3 1/2-inch diskette. Even CDs and DVDs are starting to disappear

We no longer have the technology to read the original data from the NASA Viking probes -- what else have we lost?

Some have called this the Loss of Information Age.
