Computer Help and Support

If it's on your hard drive, or a backup hard drive, it's offline. But it could fail or be stolen. If it's on Google, it could be hacked. Most of us have had at least one incident over the years. Free credit reporting for two years because Bank X was hacked. I think privacy freaks would opt for encrypted multiple USB drives, or SD cards. At one time they told us DVD was the gold standard. Now they claim a life of about 20 years for them, if not warped. THen there are metallic DVDs - 75 years supposedly. Will civilization support digital everything forever? How do you convey photo albums for millennia. Will anyone care if you succeed? It will cost money. I wonder if we've been sold a bill of goods.
