Very interesting indeed. Long-life media is a good start. If even the minimum estimate of 80 years holds, media lifetime will not be the limiting factor.
Second question: Will there be any CD-R readers to go round in 80 years from now? Personal computers have been with us for 25 years, and we've already passed through several generations of storage media that can no longer be read by mainstream computers.
