Digital fragility
Saw this posted on the gym wall this morning.
Made me wonder how many years of work are sitting on flash memory. The millions of 'priceless memories' that exist as JPEGs on digital cameras and mobile phones. Entire music collections on MP3 players.
Most of them won't be backed-up. Terabytes of data, all of it an absent-minded moment, or a 'format this drive' away from oblivion.
I haven't backed up my laptop for weeks.
I'll be doing it this evening.
