I think this is a very important idea. Not only because of potential collapse and to conserve resources, but also because in your technological civilisation it is a near certainty that future generations will have to deal with legacy technology and software potentially hundreds of years old that are serving vital functions. Thus thinking now about how such systems could work in the long term and developing hardware and software with that in mind is IMHO quite vital.
