Bitstreams are not intelligible without the data formats, applications,

“Traditionally, preserving things meant keeping them unchanged; however our digital environment has fundamentally changed our concept of preservation requirements. If we hold on to digital information without modifications, accessing the information will become increasingly difficult, if not impossible.”

Chen, S. S. (2001). The paradox of digital preservation. Computer, 34(3), 24-28.
