Comment on My Grandma Was a Fed – Lessons from Digitizing Hours of Childhoodparent

You're looking at the technical capability, not the human behavior.

A random non-techie human without particular urgency will not download a hundred old family videos in 60 days. They will watch some of the first one, try to fast forward, stop when it gets boring, and think about downloading them sometime in the future and then forget about it until six months later.

(Except your uncle who is the family historian, who tries to download all of them but runs out of room on day three.)

Yup, you nailed it. This was my exact concern.

As I techie human I’d probably do the same thing, thanks to ADHD
