I have a photo of my great grandfather's house
in Germany with my great grandfather standing in
front of it. Try that with a digital photo on
a memory stick in a hundred years(which is roughly
how old the photo is--a bit older actually).
Books, pictures, records endure. Digital information
is here today gone tomorrow. And don't let anyone tell
you different.
On the other hand, thanks to the internet,
I could see my greatgrandfather's house as it is today
--or at least I could until the link gave out.
Fortunately, I downloaded the photo!
(It is a grandiose house--I was teasing my
wife about how the family has fallen on hard times)

I'll go downstairs and wind up my HMV Gramophone from 1905,
it's still working. Will my mp3 player do the same after 100 years?
