The Digital Age has put the ubiquitous printed photos to near extinction, so you have thought. With gadgets like smart phones, digital cameras and tablets all having tons of memory space to store hundreds of thousands of digital images, you believe that there’s no point at all in printing your photos. Yet you’d be surprised that many people still print their digital images up to this day when everything seems to be stored electronically. There are lots of reasons why you’d still have to print the photos you took using your newly-bought digital SLR camera, or the images you captured through your iPhone.

You can ensure that printed photographs can last for a lifetime especially if you keep them on a photo album. On the other hand, there is no guarantee that the images stored on cloud storage will remain there forever as technological advances can make cloud computing obsolete several years from now. Meanwhile, your computer hard drive may be corrupted, or the mobile phone that you have been very fond of may get lost or stolen from you. So there’s no assurance that you can keep those memorable images you stored on these electronic devices.

There’s also a good chance that printed photos will last longer than digital files. Image files today like JPEG and GIF could become obsolete in the next decade, and become unreadable by electronic devices of the future. This cannot be said of printed photographs.

Many photography enthusiasts have this piece of advice: consider printed photographs as the best for of backup. While printed photographs will also deteriorate over time, it is highly unlikely that these things will be stolen or get corrupted especially if kept in good quality photo album.
