digital decay is a term that is used to describe any degradation, obsoletion, or breakdown of computerized information. all digital storage is prone to some sort of decay for a number of reasons. this decay can also be known as “data decay” or “data rot.”
digitized information is often more accessible and convenient than traditional hard copy methods. instead of keeping documents physically on file, they can be condensed and kept on computers, external hard drives, disks and even by using cloud storage.
physical files are in danger of elemental problems. for instance, pages yellow and unforeseen circumstances (i.e., fires, floods) threaten buildings where files are kept. unfortunately, digital caching methods can be more vulnerable than physical caches. files, pictures, and other data can be made unrecognizable.
