Although it might have been safely

stored on floppy discs or CD ROMs when it was created, the ability to look at digital files can and is undermined by rapid changes to formats and technology.
"There are so many different types of computers; if you think about the different operating systems, you have Mac and Windows, [those] are the main ones, and those operating systems have gone through multiple iterations, and each of those has a different piece of functionality that they bring along," Mr Ong said.
"We have seen different types of floppy discs, different sizes, there have been CDs and DVDs, and now we are transferring a lot of files over the internet.
"With any kind of digital file we need the software to be able to open it.
"The software has to run on a specific operating system which may need hardware to run.

Өөр залуучууд руу сээтэн хаях Найз залуутай, нөхөртэй байж, өөр хэн нэгэн аятайхан залууд тал засаж, тэдэнтэй ярилцаж, харилцаа тогтоохыг хүсдэг, харилцаандаа үнэнч биш бүсгүйчүүдэд залуус үнэхээр дургүй, бүр үзэн яддаг ажээ.
