Digital Obsolescence:
Digital Obsolescence is the risk of losing digital information due to either outdated software, hardware, or file formats. This is something to be especially aware of as we continue further into the advancing technology and becoming more reliant and dependent on what we once deemed as a luxury. Cell phones and devices of today is almost a necessary requirement for survival today compared to what it used to be. This can make it difficult to access or use the stored data in our digital assets. Taking care of your technology also means to know when you need to update, replace or renew your digital assets to keep what data you need for the future.
