Lots of famous writing from the ancient world doesn't survive in the original and had to be copied; what we have is copies of copies of copies, etc. And plenty of ancient works are lost.

We will need to copy to newer media what is important for archival purposes even now it seems.

Once concern is that while we still discover ancient works, with digital if something is lost, it's 99% lost for good.
