I'm going to speculate that in 20 years, CD-R

to be somewhat specialty items, not too different than finding a
vinyl record player today. Yeah, there's probably some store
in town that has one or two. 100 years, that's a lot harder to
guess. Media longevity is kinda irrelevant if your descendants
throw it away because they don't know what it is or how to read
it. (I'm 100% sure that most kids today don't know how to play
a vinyl record... much less dial a rotary dial telephone!) It
doesn't matter much that readers are available as long as everyone
believes they aren't easy to find.
I can do both! Can I get a cookie over here? =]
