Well, one counter to Wayne's note below is the rise of "Big Data".  There are new, and increasingly sophisticated, analytic tools available that are being driven by and for marketing that can be applied to all that "forever data" to extract patterns of information that we are just beginning to comprehend.  That's why I said that the courts are going to have to help define time periods that provide boundaries for discovery.  I'm not a lawyer but I've already had that conversation with legal staff and it seems that that may already be the case.  Maybe someone from the legal area can inform us on that.  If that is the case, the payoff from big data analysis of all that forever data may be so high, and storing it so cheap, that there is little or no reason to manage it other than knowing what it is and where it is.

One response to Dick King... technology certainly changes the information
environment, but if there's anything we've learned over the past several
decades it's that the changes are rarely predictable (paperless office,
anyone?).  I think that retention schedules will be very different in 50 years
(compare schedules from 50 years ago to today), but they will still be very
much alive due at least to the "right to be forgotten" movements coming
out of Europe especially and perhaps also mitigation of litigation costs and
risks.
