DOTS- Archiving Films Digitally

DOTS- a Digital Optical Technology System that was developed by the Eastman Kodak Company but is being patented by Group 47. They were formed around 2008 and have been working on securing patents, designs, and manufacturing processes for the DOTS. The reason for DOTS being created is said that when studios save their movies on films it lasts for about a century but with DOTS it lasts 100 plus years. But not many people are fond of DOTS since they say, "Archiving in the digital age is considered a dilemma that might result in the loss of some of Hollywood’s movie history." There are two sides to this issue but Group 47 considers that , while one thinks that this will put aside of archiving movies in film, others "are already showing interest in the technology. And, since archiving of historical material is a global issue that extends well beyond the entertainment industry, Hummel told The Hollywood Reporter that 'Group 47 is also working with some government agencies who are very supportive [of DOTS].' " DOTS has been proven to withstand harsh conditions. Such as, that it is immune from electromagnetic fields, it is chemically inert, non-magnetic, and that it is able to be stored in room temperature or extreme temperatures ranging from 15 - 150 degrees of Fahrenheit. I believe that DOTS is a good thing for the film industry because one will be able to save their movies on DOTS, instead of film, which will make it last longer because it is able to withstand harsh conditions. What do you guys think?
