You lost me here. I'm firmly a "millennial", and I can't recall ever seeing a friend with printed photos from the last four years other than the occasional art student. I'm not necessarily disagreeing with your overarching point, but this part really rings very hollow to me.
- gglitch 12y agoMy family prints out pictures. We of course have hundreds of gigs of digital, but the pleasure of having physical books of curated sets of our most loved photos, e.g. of our vacations and kids, is way more powerful than staring at them on our TV or laptops. (&FWIW I'm right at the cusp of gens X and Y.)
- w1ntermute 12y agoThat might be fine if you have lots of space in your house and don't plan to move any time soon, but I've kept everything digital because I don't have much space in my apartment and I might move within a year (when my lease is up). It's fantastic not having to deal with physical goods.
- bane 12y agoEvery so often we'll print off a favorite picture or something. Maybe to make an invitation or a sign or something. We definitely don't treat them as well as a real photograph and they usually end up getting tossed in the trash after a short life tacked to a cork board.
