A long article in today's New York Times, notes the impending end of the film camera era. 92% of all cameras sold last year were digital. Kodak will soon be ending the production of film. Even with all the advances noone is quite certain how long the digital images of today will last and how they will be retreived as storage devices develop and change. One needs only to think of all those floppy disks with no drives to play them on or all those records with no record players.
New is great and new also brings new challenges and new problems.
Thomasina in Tom Stoppard's mind bending time warping play, ARCADIA, observes that when you stir raspberry jam into vanilla pudding it will first swirl in streaks but ultimately will turn the entire pudding pink. If you stir the pudding in the opposite direction, the jam will not separate back out again. --LIFE MOVES ONLY FORWARD--NEVER BACK!--
