Digital storage is good, but I think it has a pretty serious disadvantage too. Your picture, video, music and etc don't degrade from each step of copying, but it either works perfectly or it doesn't work at all.
I just recorded a TV show to DVD-R, but the drive errored out during finalizing. Now the recorded disc would not play at all and I get is "bad disc" message. The recording is there, but it's just not accessible by ordinary means. Samething's happened w/ digital camera too. Small corruption. Everything on card completely gone.
The data is basically completely lost less data recovery service. If it was analog, you'd just lose that small portion where the error occured.
Something like this happened to you guys yet? How do you feel about digital storage?
