I think about that every time I am visiting an archaeological site with stone inscriptions.

Looking 5000 years in the future, no one will be able to read our documents, like we do with those written 5000 years ago.

Reading 25 year old documents is hard enough. I mean, none of my current computers even has an optical drive, let alone a 3.5" floppy. To say nothing of the actually-floppy floppies.
