Once I made the transition from disposable to digital cameras, my collection of photos increased exponentially. The mass amount of photos slowed down my hardrive, so I would burn them onto CDs to preserve them.
What I should have done was save them onto memory cards or flash drives. They became really cheap, and are clearly a better way to save your data.
Why? Discs get scratched and become unreadable to computers. Plus, they spin so fast and get so hot, I worry about my computer.
So let that be the lesson of the day. It's 2009, if you want your pictures to last until 2019, better save them on a secure media. And do it often, just in case your computer crashes.
