interesting subject that got me thinking izzy....how many of us on here have got photos of our ancestors taken 100 years ago in fact how many photos have we got of our parents at a young age...i have only one of my dad when he was about 3 months old and one of our mom at about 10...then they stop until they marry...they were born in..1929..back in the day you had to pretty well healed to afford to have your own camera or go to a studio and pay a photographer to take family photos..my daughter and son in law have taken thousands of family photos on their phones since grandson james was born 5 years ago but they then choose which ones they like best and have them printed off which is very cheap to do and frame them..their hall stairs and landing is packed with photos a few in their bedroom and a few in the living room..i myself have a unit of framed family photos... although i know some dont bother but think you would be surprised at just how many youngsters do this...But that's the point I'm making, people are not printing them out, my son is prime example, everything is on his phone from when the children were born to now aged 9 & 10. We go to Tesco and use their instant print service.
