The problem with digital photography is that people tend to not make
prints from them. They share them on social media, they send them as
email attachments, but the images themselves never exist outside of
digital ephemera, and as such, are much more prone to getting lost.
Prints should last the better part of a century and require no special
equipment for viewing, digital files last until the next hard drive
crash, or when they can no longer be translated into a screen image, and
require special equipment for viewing. Very few people actually do any
sort of back-ups at all on their computers, the vast majority of people
are totally dependent on the one copy of the file they have tucked away
in "My Documents/My Pictures" lasting forever.
