Back when we used a film camera we put everything in photo albums and we very rarely oen them up to look at them. We are much more likely to go back and look at pictures on the computer. I'm also a big proponent of: Backup! Backup! Backup! Redundancy! Redundancy! Redundancy! A backup to a portable hard drive once a week, a DVD in the safe deposit box once a month, and an online backup to Mozy.com whenever my PC is idle. Remember: An engineer doesn't think that a glass is half full or half empty---he's just glad that half his water is in a redundant glass. :o) I only print if I want to display a picture in a frame or use it in some other similar project.

But it isn't as accessible as print pictures. Who knows where Flickr will be in 10 years? It could be a movie distribution site. I can't send my grandma to Flickr, she doesn't have a computer and even if she did, she has no idea what Flickr is. But I can hand her a photo. Anyone else have an opionion about online storage solutions versus printing photos? I'm still a 'print' guy myself. Online storage like Flickr is cool and fun to use.
