I agree with Lew, except about the chaff. The story makes horrible false assumptions. If you are backing up to any cloud device your stuff could last until armageddon. Why? Because google et al update constantly to newer tech. I have digital images way over 10 years old that at living happily. Started on Floppy, then Syquest, moved to Magneto-optical, to DVD to Drobo and now I have both on-site and off-site backups with whatever reliable cloud storage service I want. Why does this person think people actually store their photographs any better then their DVD's?

Museum curators have told me they will not accept certain kinds of digital image files, so they will go. Don’t you know anybody with 18,000 images in a flash drive they carry around? I do, and my nephew says he has about 8500 “expendable images’.On Feb 20, 2016, at 6:49 PM, Lew Schwartz <lew1716@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:Hysterical, potboiling journalism. I give it no credibility at all. It's more likely that the opposite will occur: there'll be so much inconsequential chaff that it'll be extremely difficult to find anything of significance.
