Something to consider is if you might have children and grandchildren who will stumble on them someday. One of my favorite things to do when I visited my grandparents was to go down into their basement and flip through their collections of Life, Popular Mechanics and National Geographic. It gave me a window into life in the decades before I was born in a way that history classes never could. As much as I love the Internet Archive, I would not have found clicking through a digital magazine nearly as absorbing.
- dpb001 3y agoI have had similar thoughts, but I suspect this sort of accidental discovery will be less interesting to future generations because of the competing volume of online content. I remember stumbling across a supply of second hand amateur radio magazines (QST and 73) as an 11 year old in the mid-60’s that started me down the tech path. These days I would probably be in front of some sort of screen instead of poking around in my grandparent’s basement or a used bookstore.
