Gut feeling: the comeback of physical media has merely started. More and more (young) people understand the importance of vinyl, film photography, printed books etc as they understand how the internet and digital data are becoming less and less trustworthy. What you have at home as physical media cannot be altered, manipulated or deleted. I like it!

It also forces you to think about what you really want to keep and what can be discarded. Especially when you think about photos. So many of us are sitting on giant amounts of digital pictures that mostly remain unseen as it’s simply too much.

This is why I bought a Canon Selphy thermosub photo printer a few years ago. Archival quality pictures at 20 cents each. So every now and then I go through my new digital pictures, decide which ones I want to keep in physical form and print them. It’s somehow become a valued ritual now :) and my guests like to go through them! The physicality of going through a pile of real pictures is addictive :)
