The same way they figured out that global warming will kill mankind in the next 5 years....5 years ago.
I think that we'll find a way to preserve information. But what is really in more jeopardy is human life as we know it. Humans are fragile creatures. We will likely be extinct at some point while our "information" lives on. Perhaps for other inelligent creatures that emerge millions of years from now.
...and can last for thousands of years without losing information.

Perhaps Helen Thomas or Madelin AllDull gave a personal report from personal observations.
