Thanks, my point is simply just that data is still physical, no matter what.

A document locked inside a box that I personally don't have a key to doesn't make the document inside of it non-existent, just inaccessible to me, personally.

No, the data is not physical, it is either magnetic or electric.

Since most people still store their media on hard drives most media is purely magnetic.

In a solid state drive storage chip the data is stored electronicly.
