Diggers now a days can probably keep a copy of every picture they ever take with a camera.
That's true, except how does that satisfy the discussion I had with a Curator last week about archiving and accessibility? Every digger may have a phone with more computing power than NASA when they put a man on the moon, but nobody else can access it (even them if they lose/squash it). The whole point of archiving is to allow somebody down the line to get the data out and look at it afresh.
