Digital life isn’t as permanent as you think it is

Joke's on you, I didn't think it. Everything digital keeps dying with a decade or two. Hardware platforms, drivers, optical and magnetic storage, operating system compatibility, apps, services, sites, APIs, port standards, SDKs.

Nothing lasts in computers, it's just a myth, a legend, a promise never kept.

Somehow the illusion persists, and it's especially funny when someone starts daydreaming about his brain uploaded to a computer so they can live forever. Nah you'll live a few years and then you'll gradually be cut off from the world and die, just like you normally would. Sorry!
