I wish more research would go into holographic storage inside crystalline substrates. Those would be more Rock solid and would remove the chances of direct interaction with the interior data points. If the surface is scratched, hopefully not on a sufficiently hard material i.e. diamond or graphene, you could buff it up and ideally the data would be preserved.

From an engineering perspective that would be the next step to preserve all the data we have accumulated. Or finding a way to print custom dice for DIY chips with these new 3D printers. . Do you think a simple pane of glass that has been etched by a laser could suffice as a replacement for the standard optical storage?

With more recent advancements in glass for the purpose of cell phones, I think it's possible, but I think we have plenty of carbon laying around (as well as plenty of fucking diamonds that (((some people))) that diamond etched storage is feasible.
