Re: Calling all Digital Imaging Students : where are you now??

I am still here and stuck on Module 4. It took so long to get Module 3 marked that I lost the impetus. Head down tonight to do some more.
On Saturday my wife and I went to Tate Britain to see 'How We Are: Photographing Britain'. which is a surprisingly large and very fascinating exhibition. It is not only the development of photography but a documentary about Britain and the way of life of mainly ordinary people.
It made me think about all the prints and negatives I have stored in the loft over the last 50 years of taking photo's and I wondered if in 50 years time when hard disks have failed and CD's have been lost if the years from 2007 to 2057 could be displayed at a similar exhibition. It would seem to me that hard copies tend to survive, if I had items stored on floppy disk I would have a problem reading them now!
I would highly recommend a visit if you can before it closes on the 2nd September.
