Comment on Why your early 2000s photos are probably lost forever

Comments

The digital photos are not my issue. Especially in the early 2000s the files were really small, super easy to copy. I've always moved them to a new laptop, I guess I have at least 8 copies lying around in different places.

More problematic are the first analog videos from the 80s, the magnetic tape now starts to rot, and it's not that easy to copy those.

I also have film from the 60s and 70s, this is slowly becoming an issue too. But honestly I don't care that much about those past memories from my parents and grandparents.
