h2. The Lost Laptop Problem
* 2010 Ponemon Institute report for Intel re. US laptops
** On average, 2.3% of laptops assigned to employees are lost each year
** In education & research that rises to 3.7%, with 10.8% of laptops being lost before the end of their useful life
*** ~3 years i.e. within 1 PhD of allocation!
** 75% lost outside the workplace
* Very similar results from 2011 European report!

h3. BBC Domesday Project
1986 Project to do a modern-day Domesday book (early crowd-sourcing)
* Used “BBC Master” computers with data on laserdisc
* Collected 147,819 pages of text and 23,225 photos
* Media expiring and obsolete technology put the data at risk!
Domesday Reloaded (2011)
* Required emulation of software
* Images restored from original masters
* http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/domesday
To allow long-term access to data
* Don't use obscure formats!
* Don't use obscure media!
* Don't rely on technology being available!
* Do keep original source material!
