Is that forever or as long as you have the photo on your device? I guess my question more broadly is what is Apple's "post-PC" scheme for the long term archiving of photos and other data?
- alanfalcon 15y agoPC is still the mass storage device where you can keep your lifetime of pictures. But some people don't think of pictures in terms of archiving. They think in terms of taking pictures, sharing them, and moving on. I'm not a "Post PC" person because I want to store my TBs of photos and maintain the external HD and DVD backups of same. Today's teenager is probably happy to let Facebook "store" their photos for them.
- joebadmo 15y agoHm. Interesting point. So, I guess what you're saying is that the question itself is not from a "Post-PC" perspective? It's interesting, but seems like conflating a desire for archive with a desire for PC-level control. They seem like parallel but distinct issues to me. Even FB stores those photos in perpetuity, doesn't it? I really don't know, I'm not on FB. Is the idea of permanence or permanent record fading with the PC?
