Because I’m older, the change has been so dramatic. Now, I don’t even need an office (I’m not in production anymore). I just haul my laptop around in a backpack. I have pens and a notebook because I’m old and still like to use them, but one of my young colleagues mentioned she doesn’t think she’s written anything down in years. Just types notes in her phone or on her laptop.

Has she actually tried to use any file she wrote even a few years ago? Tried to access a backup? It is more than terrifying. Or maybe she doesn’t even backup…

I haven’t asked her.

The point being: touchable media endures; digital can disappear in a poof.
