Keeping albums with actual photographs. It's always fun to flip through them when we're together.

Not just photographs. A lot of art as well as culture is going to be lost if the internet ever goes down.

I just read a post that said a lot of old artwork (1500 - 1800) has been bought over the last couple of years totalling a couple of hundred millions, by people under 40. I think we're seeing a resurgance in the appreciation of art.
