Just finished listening to this relatively new podcast called A Life Well Wasted, though this particular episode is not canon due to it being an slow paced, unedited interview. The interviewee happens to be a gaming curator over at Stanford named Henry Lowood. In simpler terms, he helps preserve the history of games.

All this didn't really interest me until Lowood drew a picture.

"There's a famous article that was written in Scientific America over 10 years ago and the guy who wrote it talked about leaving a CD-ROM behind that had all the information about bank assets, money that he was going to leave his great-grandchildren. 75 years later, whatever the terms are, they find the CD-ROM and they know that all their money is basically in there, but they don't have any CD-ROM players; they don't even know what a CD-ROM is. He talks about an envelope that he would leave with written instructions--on paper--telling them what a CD-ROM is how to basically put the system together...that's kind of the Holy Grail version of where we would want to get [with] this."
