The Future of Home Digital Storage and organized? This is a growing issue as consumers have an increasing number of older devices in their garages and closets. 243 Efficient ways need to be created and standardized to make movement of applications and content to new devices easy and effective. If all devices could be part of a network, in many cases a wireless network with appropriate management software for moving and protecting content as well as converting to a new device, this management will be much easier. Today there are no such clear standards to make these functions easy and so users must use semi-manual ad hoc approaches to move content to new devices. Format obsolescence is a clear threat to the preservation of digital content and the applications that use this content. In fact the content formats themselves are subject to format obsolescence, as more efficient compression and other technologies are developed. Over time the older formats tend to lose support, making it likely that some older format content could be lost with time.
