    Do you ever curse that there wasn't technology around in our early years to document our growing up?

    Just wondering because I just found a bunch of old Super 8's and a projector as I was moving my dad from his current house into an old folks home. My mom died when I was 10 and we lost all our pictures moving when I was 12 so I had about 3 pictures of my mom to remember her.

    I turn on these Super 8's that I didn't know existed and BAM! there she is is video (no sound on those of course). It's so surreal watching just a few frames of me playing baseball, on vacation, on a xmas in the late 70's when I had no pictures of any of this stuff.

    To think how my sister is getting so much footage of my nephews now on an HD video...the thousands of photographs they'll have and videos they'll see.
    Digital stuff won't last forever, like anything, the materials they are saved on corrode over time.. once they corrode or oxidize enough, the files become corrupt and may not be recognizable.. It can happen as little as a few years depending on the quality of the media they are saved on.. On the other hand, you might get a hundred years out of it if it is saved on quality material and stored in the proper temperatures and humidity..

    I've enjoyed living through the transition. There are always new things to appreciate.

    I've only got 3 Polaroids of me growing up!!

    I tell you what, you can have all the technology in the world, I'd do anything to go back to simpler times like back in the 70s and 80s. And I wish my kids would be able to do the same. I'm really having a problem with today's day and age. Too much technology and too much going on.

    These cuts are leaving creases. Trace the scars to fit the pieces, to tell the story, you don't need to say a word.
