  ??Perhaps not
close to 1000 years, but certainly across a lifetime spam--I  
 In 1000 years, well past our lifetime, will there BE anything besides
 "spam"

 ??would think that these would be handy for
preserving family photos,
??particularly of important events such as weddings.  
 Other than archeologists, in 1000 years, who is going to WANT our data? 
there are a few known facts:
* every generation well want to relive their childhood
* military/corporate project become cheaper and enter the consumer market[1]
* new data mining methods are discovered
* old information has value but is lost/miss-placed/destroyed before the true value is
discovered (wiping)

[1] 3D printers, Remote control vehicle, computers, etc
