Digital data are more fragile than printed material.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
As everything becomes digitized, there's the idea that things that can't be digitized become more valuable.
There's a lot of things lost in the Digital Age.
Computers may save time but they sure waste a lot of paper. About 98 percent of everything printed out by a computer is garbage that no one ever reads.
With faster Internet and better computers, you'd better believe we're creating and consuming more digital data.
So we should preserve it. I don't think that digital storage is necessarily a good thing, but I definitely think that digital manipulation is interesting.
Digital platforms are worthless without content. They're shiny sacks with bells and whistles, but without content, they're empty sacks. It is not about pixels versus print. It is not about how you're reading. It is about what you're reading.
Everyone seems to think that digital technology devoids the medium of content, but that is not true at all. If anything, it broadens the content.
Digital imaging has untied our hands with regards to technical limitations. We no longer have to be arbiters of technology; we get to participate in the interpretation of technology into creative content.
Data is a precious thing and will last longer than the systems themselves.
Memory is more indelible than ink.
