    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.

    The one Great Grandma used to use.

    People say that whatever you post on the internet will be there forever. Try looking up something that was posted more than 20 years ago.
