Here is the link to a page where someone has pointed out that scientific data is disappearing . .
Even today when we have an always-on internet, truly huge storage spaces even in our own home PCs never mind "cloud" services, scientific data is disappearing to the point where "for the papers that were written more than 20 years ago, there was a 90 per cent chance that no data was available."
This is SERIOUS crap.
THIS is the kind of thing that will come back to bite us in our collective a**es in future. This means we are losing scientific information, and not just that : the most important part of all the information of science is the raw data itself. The bit that's being dropped.
