By the time when we are too old, our A/V collection's media is already obsolete and there may be no more available players for them. Also, the A/V media we are using today have short shelf life; tapes gets molds and stick-up, and optical discs tend to rot in just a few years even if we reasonably take care of them. In short, our current collection will self destruct, maybe before or after we leave this world (sigh...). So be it, let our future generation enjoy our collections that will be migrated to the new media of the future which is based on solid state media: memory-based media much like the memory cards we have today but in a more compact, robust and terrabytes capacity.So what will I do with my collections? I will just enjoy them as much as I can today hopefully before they self-destruct right before my eye, hehehe!!!
My grandfather has a library of books stored in his den. When he passed, the books remained for all of us, his grandchildren, to continue reading.So, the same goes for my own library of DVDs, books, comics and other media.
