Well, yes, a good question. But the cuneiform tablets are interesting to compare with paper and magnetic storage. They really are hard to alter without tell-tale evidence, they are not affected by reasonable strength magnetic fields and radiation, don't fade or rot, and are still readable after 5K years.
How much of our current and past data storage media will be usable in the year 7000? Interesting printer design problems though, sort of a hot clay linotype; instead of toner, you shovel in dirt, and the warm-up time is a killer. Mail is a problem too... But on the upside, it would really be impractical to store title 26 USC in cuneiform. And you could drop your drivers license on the revenue agent's foot.
