would it be possible to print out on paper the contents of a drive in a hexadecimal (or binary) series containing all of its information, and then be able to read and then write that sequence onto another drive later to restore the information, without losing the titles of files, the directories, and not have to have to manually restore every singe file printed and labeled with its extension and name provided? if this would be possible, you could theoretically use this to back up information and store it in a non-digital way, and it could be protected from EMPs and other such magnetic pulverisation. of course, the amount of paper required would be massive for any significant amount of data, would require great physical storage space and would cost a lot; it wouldn't be practical but if the printed pages were kept in sequence and protected from weather, fires, and physical damage, then the information could be safe.

There are things like QR Code which allows you to hold data in print. You could probably do this but it could take alot of paper reams to save your collection of anime.

If you have enough paper sure, you'd be retarded to though.
Ryan James
do you have a specific example of such a service, user?
Jayden Thomas
yeah, it takes a crazy kind of person to do something like this, that's why i am interested.

I posted it first. It's not a joke but it's pretty pointless.
