I agree. I still have a "camera eyes" pic of my kids that I made with my Apple //c and a video camera in the early 80s. On the other hand, I couldn't begin to tell you where all the slides from that era might be. I know that some were damaged in a flood.

It also reminded me of a key disadvantage of digital. I pulled out slides and negs I shot in 1965, and they're a bit dusty and faded, but viewable with a light box and loupe, and printable. Will anybody be able to view my DNGs in 2051?

Your DNGs ... possibly.
Your JPEGs and TIFFs ... certainly.

I've not lost a single digital image I've created, starting in 1984. I don't know how many thousands of negatives, slides, and prints have been lost as I could never account them properly. I don't miss them.
