Two issues here.

Will you have the means of reading it?
Will it last?

Will you have the means of reading it.
Would you have believed 3 years ago that you would be buying a
computer with no diskette drive? 3 years before that, that you
wouldn't be able to read a 5 1/4 floppy?

Can anyone guarantee that in 20 years, CDs won't be as obsolete as an
8 inch diskette?

As far as will it last...depends on any number of factor that I'm not
an expert on.
