On/Off Digital Fade

I used to think that digital media would last forever, now I know better.
Data and files become corrupted over time mimicking the yellowing of paper.

It is not a graceful fade though…
When the collection of errors becomes big enough, the file is rendered useless.

Everything gets old.

The Second Law of Thermodynamics states:
In a system, a process that occurs will tend to increase the total entropy of the universe.
