HOW WILL YOU REMEMBER?
In thirty or forty years, how will you remember the most important moments of your life?
According to a nationwide survey conducted by Professional Photographers of America (PPA). 67% of survey respondents store their photos solely on a computer or phone!
This is alarming. Why?
- In 2014 4.5 million lost or stolen mobile phones and only 33% of people say they actively back up photos and data on their phones.
- A Technological mishap can happen in the blink of an eye. Accidental pushes of a button, computer crashes, coffee spills, water damage, power surges, lost memory cards, USB drives or CD/DVD's, Malware, or faulty cords just to name a few.
- Online Photo Storage Problems-Costly subscriptions, hardware, or Wi-Fi access.
- Technology evolves rapidly making future access unpredictable-maybe even impossible.
- Some storage services only save lower resolution files, limiting print quality and size.
- Tangible History disappears. Future generations will have difficulty knowing us because there won't be a tangible photo history of our lives nor theirs.
Some alarming statistics to think about.
- 53% haven't printed a photo in more than 12 months.
- 24 % don't recall the last time they printed.
- 70% of people don't have photo albums.
- 42% no longer print photos at all.
Think about how you feel when you find an old photo album from your childhood or your grandparent's childhood. Think about the joy it brings to relive those times through these photographs.
