At some point in the future, your grandchildren will be looking for the history of their parent's (your children's) past. Will they find round silver disks or ancient memory sticks containing all the images of their parent's childhood, only to find they no longer have the technology to open and view them? Or, will all the photos from your child's past be lost on discarded or non-functioning cell phones and computer drives?

Think about how hard it is even now to view or convert old movie film from your parent's past. Fortunately for us, our parents made prints from our childhood. Prints last longer and are the easiest media to view. They are the best way to preserve our history and heritage. The will not become instantly un-viewable if a few disk sectors become corrupt. Even if they begin to fade or age, you will have years to have them them restored and reprinted. They will not become lost to history in the blink of an eye.
