And what in 20 years from now ? Who will have anything that could read the CDīs that we store all digital pictures on today ?? Or in 100 years ?? In my fathers house thereīs a picture taken when my granddad was young sometime around 1890 - Even if faded, you could easily recognise people and what they are doing !!! Itīs not important on the Vanagon Screensaver/calendar discussion but maybe worth a bit of contemplating for me as for anyone else with a digicam : What kind of documentation do we want leave to the future generations ??
