Warning of data time bomb

Warning of data time bomb

I was watching a program the other evening about Photography and they said that the Photographic plates shot in the Edwardian Era 1901-1910 using the Kodak Box Brownie brought out in 1900 will easily outlast the sort of Digital photographs being snapped on throw away technology like Mobile phones, cheap digi camera's etc... , they claim that in another 100 years time there could be less photographic records of family life than the hundred years before when people had to get there photo's developed, stored negatives in shoe boxes etc...
