I can't believe that I have been alive for over half a century! I wish I had been better at recording the fleeting moments. I have begun to forget the memories I tried so hard to hang on to. How I wish now that I had been more than a random journaler (a person who keeps a personal journal, as opposed to a journal "ist" who writes for pay.).
I also have come to distrust digital recording of anything. While it is easy, I have my doubts that future generations will be able to access it. Digital pictures are only so good as there is a device to retrieve them. Same with audio, video, and text files. So what if the technology changes so much that the pictures and what-not that we have now are no longer accessible? Will they be forgotten and lost forever? Must print more! I have literally over a 100,000 pictures on a hard drive. I am so afraid of losing them!
I want the future to know that my children were here! I want them to be more than just a name in a family tree! Speaking of which...I have been wanting to print my family tree.
SQUIRREL!
