The year is 2114. You dig through the plastic pods in the storage capsule and uncover one that says "100 Year-Old Pictures." Will they be recoverable? Or, will the "1"s and "0"'s have slipped off the media leaving nothing but a blocky representation of some great-greats you never met and now you'll never know what they looked like. Paper-backed prints have a vulnerability, but if stored correctly they can still be shared.
If you still have old photos, remember to write something about the people on the back before it's too late.
I have one too,from an estate sale :-). I am going to the Antique Roadshow tomorrow and will do some asking.
