Here's another benefit to printing: once a decade, when you migrate storage boxes or move houses, what are the odds you'll look at your printouts and reminisce?

Here's another benefit to printing: once a decade, when you migrate storage boxes or move houses, what are the odds you'll look at your printouts and reminisce? Probably pretty good, since it's easy to look at something. Meanwhile, personally, I back up old data but hardly ever look at it, since it's mixed in with old programs that probably won't work and a thousand photos I don't want to see. So maybe laser-etched platinum will last longer, but the barrier to reading it will certainly be higher.
