It's only a (short) matter of time before hard drives and cd/dvd's disappear altogether, and all the media we care about will exist in 'the cloud'. It's amazing how quickly technology evolves... /R ________________________________ From: Chuck Hards <chuck.hards@gmail.com> To: Utah Astronomy <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Friday, July 26, 2013 11:29 AM Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] Cosmos re-booted. I saw a Funny Home Videos episode where a parent was showing numbered flash cards to their young daughter and she was saying the number. They came to 11, and the kid said, completely serious, "PAUSE". I had to explain it to my wife. The first time I showed my then-very-young daughter one of my old LP's, she said "Wow dad, CDs were huge when you were young! Why were they black?"

I was cleaning out my house a few months ago, and had a box of 5.25 and 3.5” floppies. Showed them to my daughter, she said “so that’s where the save icon on Google Docs comes from!”…at least she got the reference, but I’d never stopped to think that she had no idea what that icon symbolized.
