Ho 69 anni ed una nipotina di 9 mesi.Archiving Photos
Way back in the primitive olden times, back before everyone owned multiple computers, and high-tech fancy digital cameras, managing your personal photos was easy. You took pictures with an inexpensive film camera, and paid a shop to process your film and make prints. Then you put your photos in albums or boxes, or somewheres, and there they sat, contented. Then sometime later, maybe years or decades later, you or your heirs would go through the albums and boxes and enjoy them. (And laugh at your clothing and hair styles.)
Now we have these fancy digital cameras that hold hundreds of pictures. How do you get them out of the camera? That part still eludes a lot of people. The ones who figure that part out are then faced with the problem of sharing them. There are commercial outfits that will put them on a CD and make prints. Facebook and Flickr have introduced computer-wary generations to the Internet and sharing pics online. It's easier than ever for the do-it-yourselfer to do sophisticated photo editing and publishing.
But what will happen to all those digital photo archives? How will future generations find and enjoy your photos? It's easier than ever to take photos, but harder than ever to preserve them. Web sites like Facebook and Flickr come and go. File formats and storage media change, how long will there be devices to read yours? How long will they even be readable? The best long-term archiving is still boxes of printed-on-paper photos.
What about movies? You can look at a film movie even without a movie projector. You can build a simple viewer using dowels to hold the reels, a hand-crank, and a magnifying glass. With videotape and digital media, no way, you need an electronic machine and you need electricity.
Ho foto stampate, sbiadite, dei miei nonni, datate dal 1900 in su`.
Foto attuali ovviamente con camera digitale, *jpg ecc.
Mi chiedo se la nipotina alla mia eta`, se la raggiunge,
avra` possibilita` di vedere le foto dei suoi nonni ...
Quanto tengono le foto delle varie stampanti attuali?
Carla Schroder dubita molto che i formati foto digitali di oggi
siano ancora usabili tra anche solo una decina di anni,
visto che i media cambiano continuamente,
i lettori degli stessi diventano obsolete ...
Domanda cattiva: chi ha ancora un lettore floppy da 8 pollici usabile?
