It’s been said that archaeologists in the future will not find it as easy as they do now unearthing our past, because when they try to uncover how we live now we’ve moved to a digital world.
Unless we continue to actually print even some of the photographs we take, or books we write, those in the future will need to be able to access the digital media we leave behind. If you’ve ever tried to access any data you saved when home computers were in their infancy, you’ll understand. As for finding photos from when you first moved to a digital camera….
So take your photographs, write your memoirs and print the best, then maybe those that discover them in the future will realise we lived in a beautiful world.
