Saving Past Data (1x5)

Data di messa in onda: Giu 08, 2007

At this very moment all of your audio, video and photographic memories are disintegrating — slowly but surely. VHS tapes have only a 15-year shelf life before the image begins to degrade; cassette tapes, same problem; and plenty of computer storage formats are no longer playable because nobody makes the programs or disk drives anymore. In this show, New York Times tech columnist David Pogue shows you how to rescue all of these decaying or disappearing formats: home movies on film, vinyl records, VHS tapes, audio tapes, data on floppy disks, slides, prints and more.
