I grew up during the VHS,CD and DVD era. Taping the main tv shows was something that I loved doing. It was never for a monetary gain. But I always feel, that it’s a cherished moment. And what if, this is the last time we see it. And I’ll record the show tape after tape.
When I got my first pc, all I could think was to run a capture card to capture the tv shows.
And I always just keep them.
The only time I ever take them out was if someone was looking for a particular show.
Today, I’m still hoarding data.
Is this a sickness? Like a real life hoarder?
I swear, if ever the data servers become corrupt, and the major companies loose their soft copies, they’ll all come running to us data hoarders to complete them again.
I believe that we should be able to own our purchases. Same for the shows that we pay for. It’s sad that the online stores can just remove shows and apps that we pay for. It doesn’t even stay as an offline resource.
Still, sickness or not, I feel we are the unsung heroes of the digital age.
Keep it up guys.
