Also, how likely are digital copies to cross generation boundaries? When grandfather dies, a family member is likely to clean out his home, find the photo album and ask "what do we do about this?". But will that happen with his digital photos?
- lordnacho 5y ago> But will that happen with his digital photos? It's easier, isn't it? Here is granddad's old HD that still works but has pitiful space compared to modern ones. Copy, paste, now you have his photos forever.

Which may be in a non-obvious place, in a HD otherwise stuffed full of horse videos copied off YouTube, or other stuff that only he had any use for. The old-school physical photo album was far less likely to be overlooked and discarded.
