Do you bother with photo albums/scrap books anymore? Or is digital the way to go for you?

The problem with digital is that it doesn't last. Formats change over time. Media degrades over time. In 10 years, it may be that files you create now will be unreadable. And after the tech apocalypse of 2036, there won't be any electricity available to even power up a storage device. Paper, though, while fragile, under the right conditions, can last for centuries, and even be viewable and readable.
@DunningKruger this is true and I didn't think of it like that

I have lots of pics still in their photoshop envelopes, plus a fair sized box, when I get some free time I would love to put them in albums.
@Jeephikelove I still have lots in the original envelopes. Even..school pictures 😯

I have a digital storage safely kept in the safe. But I also print favorite shots for an album.
I’m thinking of printing some of my travel shots in wall frame size.

I'm concerned that we'll lose so much with everything being digital.
