MODERATORS
Tbf, we still do use tape to record information. For archival, magnetic tape is still far and away the undisputed king of high density storage. We've got single tape cartridges in the 60TB range.
They just completely suck for regular access so they're limited to archival only
So it kind of works in the Foundation universe because tapes are used for messages. Basically email but in audio format.
