This blog talks about the deterioration of data on burned cds and dvds. As designers we need to make sure to back up our work and I thought that cds were a great way. After reading this I realize that you should back up your work on multiple forms of memory devices! A funny point made by the writer is while he had to get rid of the cds he was left with environmentally unfriendly cases. Whats the human benefit here??
