Data Processing Technologies:

Developments in a variety of automated data processing
technologies suggest that significant opportunities for
preservation information applications do, in fact, exist. 
Computer systems have acquired sophisticated capabilities for
managing complex tasks involving multiple media types and
peripheral data sources.  At the same time, these systems have
become considerably less expensive.  The technologies have also
witnessed a trend towards miniaturization, suggesting the
potential for developing electronic tools as highly portable
information systems with capabilities inconceivable only a few
years ago.  It is essential for the preservation community to
develop an understanding of these emerging technologies in order
to recognize and exploit opportunities to develop appropriate
information management tools.
