Never is a very strong word. In particular considering what changed in just 100 years in medicine.

It is hard to imagine that any kind of textual computer input will persist more than 20 years in the future.

Always bet on text (http://graydon2.dreamwidth.org/193447.html and on HN at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8451271)

But really. Always, always bet on text. Chances are it'll work in 10000 years if we still exist.
