Will pictures have the same meaning they used to? (lemmy.world)

My parents have saved tons of boxes of old family photographs growing up. They are fun to look at from time to time, because it used to be a bit harder to create photos. I wonder if the next generation of people will collect moments the same way we used to, seeing how quick and easy things are posted online. I’m sure many of them don’t even have pictures saved locally somewhere and rely on social media and the cloud to store their past.

We get prints of photos of our daughter and from holidays for exactly this reason. Snapfish does pretty cheap prints, so although they're not amazing quality they'll still do for having a look through every now and then.

My wife compiles the best of the years’ photos into a calendar and sends them to grandparents, etc. Always a big hit.

We have them favorited and they show up on our AppleTV’s screensaver so we see them all the time. Another big hit with the family and friends.
