So… you’re dead. All your life’s wisdom is embarrassingly obscured by the trinkets and private confessions you’ve slyly stuffed beneath the floor boards or onto DVD-Rs tagged by a short series of scrawled “X”s. Wouldn’t it be nice to explain yourself to the generations to come? Well there’s hope, and of course, a patent application to prevent anyone else from pursuing the idea. It’s “immortal computing” as dubbed by the Microsoft patent application.

If someone gives you a punch card (IBM 80 used to use it), then even though the data is on it, you would not have a clue as to how to retrieve it. This solution will try and solve this problem.
The idea is to have an immortal information storage system which “can contain easy to discover information about building a decoder or providing power and interpreting the information stored therein.
