Bit Rot

Bit Rot. It's real and it's here. The Digital Illuminati will suffer immeasurably.

The problem = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit_rot
The solution = film http://www.google.com/patents/US20100295967

Yes..... I lost several years worth of photos and my ST1200HD manual to digital rot. Par rason put away the digital cameras and got back out My Canon EOS RebelXs, Mamiya NC1000s, Pentax P3n, Elmo Super 110 and Super 103T! Minolta XL401. And am zeroing in on an Canon 1014XL-S from a fellow forum member. May also add a Nizo 801.

Long live analog, long live film!>>>> Go out and shoot film if you love it and want to keep it alive!!!

Right on, James. I am actually referring to the very longterm archival and now data storage of digital works on film.

NO one Know how long there digital data will lasted ? may be it,s good for the now ? always saw it with out a soul ? That why I shoot film ! and that it's organic ,
when you pick up the camera you have a reason too shoot/ as film is not cheap ? well nice to know that I have be right over the past years ,

Always keep it DIY , keep it film !
