A fascinating read, thanks John.
Obsolescence affects us all.
Family videos taped on Beta or VHS in the 1980s need to be digitised in order to preserve and be playable on modern media.
I have dozens of Hi8 tapes of family moments from the 2000s that I need to do something with or risk losing.

I love the bit "then preserved as traditional celluloid, on polyester film stock." true Celluloid was cellulose nitrate the highly inflammable (to use the terminology of when it was in production) or even cellulose acetate (later tri-acetate) never polyester!! "Tradition film" would have been much better even if "filming" is used as a term for capture in every other medium it seems.
