@83zzw83 not really, because SMART people use redundant backups of all hard drives on additional drives like I do
-
@NativePrairieWolf one scratch on the dvd or one bump to the hard drive (or sometimes nothing at all) and your data is gone.
-
@trucker305 Videos stored on youtube are ALSO stored on the computers of everyone who downloads them, and the owners who originally uploaded them. Tube could close up tomorrow and it wouldnt affect the copies on peoples computers already saved.
Digital is the future, no film costs no developing costs (unless printed to photo paper) no fading which all prints do over time.
It was ridiculous paying near $20 for 36 photos & not knowing what you have till you spend it.

I never got to shoot any as I got into photography just as Dwayne's photo stopped processing it (I shoot film, digital, and super 8). You can still get Kodachrome developed though, it's just going to be black and white.

Kodachrome is a complex process, not something you can do in a home darkroom, for reference look up the K-14 process.
But, the one hour photo places killed Polaroid.
Digital cameras have killed film.
Progress, like it or not.

@Morahman7vnNo2 Same here. RIP Kodachrome :'(

I never even got to shoot any.

Bastards.

I remember watching this segment... it's very sad that I will never have the chance to take pictures on this wonderful film :-( The closest that I came was shooting a 32-year expired 8mm roll bought on eBay, and images were salvageable!!! That is solid proof of Kodachrome's archival greatness. R.I.P.

Alas poor Kodachrome, I knew you well...
Not only a loss to photography, but a loss to history.
Nothing will ever be the same.
I will miss you, Kodachrome.

Truly the saddest day in archival history. "The Digital information age" will lead to the largest destruction of mankind's permanent records, the worst destruction of archival material since the burning of the Library of Alexandria. Even the videos stored on the servers of Youtube will not last forever. My dislike for Digital imagery grows ever stronger.
