Future Problem Solving sessions will enhance the Future Problem Solving process by providing information for the FPS teams regarding a problem of study. Individuals with expertise in each topic area will deliver information through brief presentations.
The topic for Practice Problem #1 is Digital Dark Age
In the digital dark age, how might we prioritize data to save and reduce the effects of information loss in the future?
Background
The Digital Dark Age is an inability to access previously collected documented files, photos, and other information stored in outdated file formats, software, or hardware. Data becomes corrupt, scarce, or otherwise inaccessible as technology changes and physical media decays.In the digital dark age, how might we prioritize data to save and reduce the effects of information loss in the future?
Context
Technology is constantly evolving with what once was considered revolutionary is now outdated, and progressively discarded. Information technology does not exist in a vacuum; digital media requires supplemental technologies to retrieve the information. Discs, drives, and other mediums can deteriorate. Even when preserved, the information can be lost without its specific reader. Proprietary file formats fall prey to the Digital Dark Age, as they are less widespread and preserving them increasingly difficult. Conservators and other data specialists strive to ensure digital information remains available. The Internet Archive is one of many organizations dedicated to preserving digital information for future generations. Updating files to modern formats has many obstacles, including expense, expertise, and equipment demands. Many archivists do not have the resources to update file formats for all items in their catalogues.
Questions to Explore
How should archivists decide which data to prioritize saving?
What methods can be used to modernize outdated file types?
How might the loss of information affect the future of humanity?

The topic for Practice Problem #2 is Disappearing Cultures.
How might the losses of endangered cultures across the world impact individuals and communities in the future?
Background
Disappearing cultures, also called endangered or vanishing cultures, represent the unfortunate phenomenon where unique and often ancient ways of life, traditions, languages, and customs face the risk of extinction. These cultures are typically marginalized and/or indigenous. They are threatened by factors such as globalization, urbanization, assimilation, environmental changes, conflict, and government policies.
Context
The loss of a culture is not merely the fading of customs and rituals; it often entails the disappearance of valuable knowledge, worldviews, and a rich tapestry of human heritage. Preserving and celebrating these diverse cultures is vital, not only for the communities themselves but for humanity as a whole. Culture contributes to the tapestry of human diversity and offers unique insights into alternative ways of living and understanding the world. Efforts to document, protect, and revitalize endangered cultures are ongoing, emphasizing the need for respect, cooperation, and the preservation of cultural diversity in an increasingly interconnected world.
Questions to Explore
What role does cultural change as a result of globalization have on cultures?
What strategies are being employed to revitalize and renew cultural practices?
In the face of cultural loss, how are individuals and communities impacted?
What are some ways to prevent the vanishing of cultures?
