Andy Warhol's Forgotten Floppy Disk Art

Andy Warhol's lost art makes me very nervous about the way society produces art today. I think that in 100 years all of what we are producing right now will be on some sort of unreadable file due the the extremely quick progression of technology. Just as the computer Andy worked on is a Dinosaur now, are computers will soon be dinosaurs too. We may not be able to go back to less advanced technologies to recover lost work. Hard copies of work are dangerous because they can get accidentally destroyed by water, fires, or people, however, digital copies of things can be lost in the multitude of files or locked away by the changing times. I wonder what else was produced on the same computers that Andy used that no one else bothered to recover.
