Ive been doing a lot of research into this recently.
I'm not exactly sure what intrigues me about Tape maybe its the life span of 30 years
or the capacity of many terabytes of data Its mainly used by small and large
businesses for archival but my plan would be to use it to store vital information if disaster ever struck and the internet was no more. Imagine having terabytes of
information videos and documents on starting civilization again basic electronic
guides, farming know how, instructions on creating weapons, guns, and
ammunition, documents on how to manufacture biodiesel and different types of fuel
like FEMA's Gasifier, or a catalog of modern medicine and medical Technics, the
basics in Physics, Math, and History, a calendar for the next 200 years, a in-depth
guide to all things survival long term and short term all the things listed
above you can easily find on the internet but in a disaster there will be no internet
I think it was The Walking dead that an outside source sold a book to restore
civilization to Rick and they paid whatever it took for that information thats kinda
the idea I've had when researching into this I'm no prepper but its always nice
to be prepared for whatever circumstance you may encounter
In conclusion I don't think you should go out and pay 2k for a LTO drive
but maybe you could buy a cheap thumb drive and fill it with useful information you
might need given a survival circumstance or at the very least when its 2AM and you find
yourself on reddit and you scroll over an article about preparation maybe take a look
at it instead of doing the reddit 50/50 challenge :P
