[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to be an archivist, and I remember being taught that digital files have a lifespan of less than 7 years. The lifespan of a physical photograph is much longer: 100+ yrs? Whether you actually want/need all your photos in the future is a different question but if you want to have a set of photos to give your kids in thirty years, you should have them printed. Putting them in an album will make them easier to keep (or have them printed into one of those books). Scanning is great to share the photos or make a backup, but it's very unlikely those files will be accessible in 30 years unless you constantly put energy into migrating them to new file formats. Think about all the files on floppy disks or CD-ROMs that are really hard to access now. [/quote] Exactly. Honestly, the shortsightedness of some of these posters is so typical.[/quote]
