unless they are celebs, who might want to look at dead people?

So here's the question: What is the best method of storing the captured

only one sure method exists of storing images for thousands of
years...
...that is to carve them in a cave, or on a stone tablet.

viewable in 100 years time, will the equipment necessary to actually view
the CD's and DVD's of today still be available? What about external USB
hard disks? What about the formats of the stored data? Backwards

yes, duh, 100 years from now people will still be using 700mb cd-rs
and 4.5gb DVD's.
just as now, I am sure, you have a turn table on which you enjoy
playing 45's and LP.

just make copies to whichever system is the newest one.

we went from ZIPs, JAZ, Syquest, and LS-120(all dead and drives hard
to find) to CD-Rs and DVD's. now it's HD and blueray.
some people use tape.



Yah all of those now dead famous painters that did all of those people paintings, who wants to look at them. All of the old photos in museums, etc. who wants to look at them. There is more to a picture of a person than knowing that person. If you can't see or understand that then you are not much of a photographer. People of all walks of life especially from times past are interesting to look at.

Somebody!
