  \subsection{Technology Life-cycle}  A common concern in adopting cutting edge cutting-edge  tools is the shelf life of their technology stack. Indeed, as technology keeps evolving, older projects may become impossible for casual use, as programming languages, operating systems and web resources move on. We have two responses to this concern. \subsubsection{Shelf-life affects everything} 

Of course, recognizing the natural nature of the process does not equate to claiming archival is an unimportant goal. In fact, we would go as far as to take for granted an acceptance of the universal value of archival, in cultural, scientific and historic terms. We would consider it a part of our ``Accessibility`` discussion in Section \ref{sec:access}, where we tried to justify that transparent and open methodologies provide the needed foundation for accessibility.  This is indeed our answer for the archival problem in technology - using open standards for representation (e.g. HTML5) and open tools for computation (e.g. JavaScript, iPython) provides a solid foundation for recovering the original content and functionality of a 21st century publication for the archeologists of the next millenium.
