As much as I enjoy the digital world and the ease in which taking photos has evolved, it makes me wonder if future generations are going to enjoy our photos like we enjoy family photos of 50+ years ago.
We had this discussion when our family was going through photos, looking for pics of my grandpa to use at his funeral / reception. "Back in the day," film and processing were real expensive, so pictures were taken more carefully, and more thought was put into it. Now, you can fit a few thousand pics on an SD card and randomly shoot everything you see. Printing pictures costs, what, $0.10 using the Kodak machines at the store?

At the same time... we're going to have pictures of *everything*, so there'll be more for our future generations to see than we had. Maybe they won't have the same kind of appreciation, but at least there'll be more of 'em
