I remember a sci-fi novel from the 60s or 70s, where a forgotten punch card was the only artifact left over from aliens long gone.

I think that something similar awaits modern science fiction in 50 years.

I'm reading Red Mars at the moment, written in the 1990s and set in the 2030s, and a cluttered lab is described as having piles of floppy disks lying around. So, yeah.
