Scrap Books are becoming more and more popular and are much more in depth than the old family picture albums. One thing people worry about in a fire, flood or natural disaster is saving all this handed down entrusted collection books. Perhaps folks should be complimenting their paper albums with digital scrapbook type files and backing them up in multiple places. Recently in an online think tank discussion this was considered and one person stated; Why not back them up on a CD ROM.
Good idea and yet, consider that one other person in the group had backed up all their old day on Word Perfect 1.0, AmiPro 2.0 and some other old programs and had them all on floppy disks; the old kind? Indeed in a few years will we all be using CD ROMS or will these be replaced with yet another better suited storage device of the future period? And how will your grandchild read it or view it if there are no CD ROM or DVD Players in 50 years? Ah ha, good question; yet it makes sense to back up all this data, images and paper material in your scrapbooks just in case. And doing it digitally makes a lot of sense.
Ones and Zeroes will be around in the future, but most likely thinking way ahead into the future it is doubtful that CD ROMS will. Please consider all this in 2006 and your grandchildren will thank you, even if their kids never get a chance to meet you.
