The media you store your data on will be unreadable and the file formats indecipherable. I have some really old wedding photographs of my great great grandparents from the time when photography was quite new. (1890) I seriously doubt, that very many, if any, computer files, including pictures will be readable in the year 2120 by whatever technology if any, that is available then. If you want to preserve any pictures or other worthwhile data for posterity, better print them on archive quality paper and store that in a suitable environment.
So as new storage technologies and file formats arrive, no one will make copies of their stuff to the new format? So all that data stored on magnetic tape has been lost? Same for floppy diskettes? No one ever thought to copy it? Sorry, but that's just ludicrous.
