Guy, No doubt there will be trillions because all animals have Pack Rat, hording genes. However, digital images will not be of much value as real photographs because of their mutability. In fact, all the fake images will cause so much confusion as to what was real - History itself - will be a hopeless enterprise. Imagine not trusting what has just happened even moments before on the basis of a digital photograph. We'll be like monkeys looking behind the mirror for the other monkey.
