As mentioned the new portable SSD's are USB 3.1 (Type-C) connector - I can't imagine these being unusable that soon. You do know motherboards still have serial and parallel ports and many even floppy drive connections, even though they don't expose them in today's cases the header cables and mounts are still available. (not to mention USB to serial/parallel/floppy/banana dongles are out there.) They still sell ps2 keyboards/mice. Many companies use dot matrix/thermal printers daily (and supplies available), I've seen dumb terminals for sale and still in use. There's companies that will help you recover magnetic tapes, heck I've seen farmers in Holland that still wear wooden clogs for certain tasks.
