In keeping with much of the discourse of computing in contemporary society, there is a push toward technological solutionism that seeks to “solve” a problem like digital preservation. I’ve suggested that there isn’t a problem so much as there are myriad local problems contingent on what different communities value. One of the biggest problems in digital preservation is that there is a persistent belief by many that the problem at hand is technical. Or that digital preservation is a problem that can be solved.
