Nah….. they used to think that about wax recordings….
75 years after that, give or take, a friend bought an expensive set of software and media to make a family history archive….
which she still has, on several floppy disks…. the photos scanned in maybe a quarter of a megapixel resolution, with a Windows 3.1 program that organises it all.
75 years from now, kids will be looking at a DVD, or maybe a flash drive, in a museum, and saying "I wonder how they used to look at these.
And Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and all will be stuck on the old internet.
