Yeah Guest, that's just it...
Digitally, everything is subject to be lost to time due to the inability to access the content...
All that really survives is what is physically printed out and preserved.
Say for example, a photo is buried in a time capsule...
Whoever/whatever finds it 2000 years from now will probably have eyeballs and they could probably get the general idea that it depicts a being...
Whereas some type of writing, meh, they're not gonna know what the hell it says.
I think imagery is universal. How do you preserve imagery for a super long time, that's the question.
Things carved into stone seem to last decently.
If you launched it into orbit it might last pretty well.
Not a lot of ways to preserve something for the truly long haul.
