Documentation: Physical or Virutal

In this day and age, everything we hold dear is on some digital format. The computer has become one of the most important tools that at any moment could fail, we have begun to put so much trust within these boxes of silicon and steel. Memories, reports, conversations, and all types of business documents are digital and we trust the "back-ups" we make to not fail. If at any time an anomaly occurred, all this data could be lost just to something as small as a magnet being rubbed against a hard drive.

Although physical documents can be destroyed and show age, at least there is no possibility of dropping out of existence in our hands. Physical damage such as fire can destroy physical documents, but at least there is possibility of some recovering the memories.
