Making a 1000 years future claim is very bold, if not to say: marketing.
I think CDs and DVDs largely died because of USB devices. I have like a
10cm x 15cm external harddisc. So it is not that expensive and can store
5TB of data. It also won't last forever but that is not so important; if
it lasts +10 years that's already fine. Usually you may then purchase a
cheaper new device, that probably then has more storage too. And you may
have some backup devices too. CDs and DVDs in this context are not very
convenient, a bit like how they replaced the older floppy devices (oddly
enough I liked floppy discs more than CDs and DVDs, in particular the
ones you could twist, they also would fly like crazy through the air; the
smaller harder floppy discs were also nice, I remember them from the Amiga
days, but the flexible ones were epic. Storage devices today are much better
but nowhere near as fun).
