[QUOTE="Frank, post: 11378382, member: 5421"]In a hundred years, people will wonder why their ancestors quit taking pictures. Virtually everyone uses some sort of electronic storage for any photos that they take, and almost never make prints. It will seem as if photography stopped in the late 1990's. Prior to that we had photos, going back to the mid-1800s, and the physical images are still extant. As technology changes, we'll lose access to stored digital images, or an eletromagnetic storm of some sort will wipe out the databases, the cloud, or whatever, and all the bits and bytes will be erased forever.[/QUOTE]
