Microfilm
I have memories of having to look at invoices that had been archived onto microfilm back in the 1980s. Very analogue technology to say the least.

Why Chromebooks are the new immortals of tech

Repair
Chromebooks are great but not always easy to get open if you need to replace something. Some really don't want to come apart and go back together.
I've replaced batteries and proprietary charging ports on a couple of Chromebooks. Can be absolute bastard job.
Is a battery going to last ten years? Probably not.
NHS looks to the market for advice on one system to replace two separate, giant Oracle ERP and HR systems

Been here, done that
Heh.
I've experience with NHS use of Oracle HR or rather the underuse and misuse of it. It really doesn't matter what whiz-bang system you put in place unless your invest in user training and try to get them to break out of thinking that the last crippleware imposed on them. Oracle HR might not be not be whiz-bang but if you use it right it's an advancement on a bunch of shitty spreadsheets and organisational diagrams knocked up in Powerpoint by a middle manager (or their PA) that bear no relationship to reality.
