I think this is the real danger, survival of personal data.
Digital media is way more vulnerable if you don't know how to take care of it (taking care of physical photos is pretty straightforward in comparison). There's going to be a lot of people ignorant of the fact that media like CDs or even hard drives degrade, that lose their phones and the pictures in it without a backup, etc. whose memories will be wiped away.
In my country for example, there used to be a fb clone that was all the rage back when I was a teenager (since fb wasn't translated to our local language yet back then). The company pivoted and its social media site went offline after a few years, and many many people lost memories that were exclusively kept there - I met the CEO in a conference a few months ago and he mentioned that he's off social media entirely because of the amount of people constantly contacting him to get their photos back.
