    Crazy how we are now talking about losing everything from the past few decades of human history because of a story about videographers losing their video data on a quality control issue.

      Crazy how a single event sometimes reminds people of bigger problems, huh?

      Digital media, where we store basically everything we care about, is hugely, hugely volatile, unreliable, and fragile. But you never notice it until you’re reminded of it, and then you really notice it. This story reminded people of it.

      The reminder to stay grounded is probably also healthy, but I do think you’re missing the point of this comment thread.
