My most treasured possessionWhat's your most treasured possession? What would you rescue from a fire (be it for sentimental or purely financial reasons)?
My Great-Uncle left me his visitors book which along with boring people like the Queen and Harold Wilson has Spike Milligan's signature in it. It's all loopy.
Either that or my Grandfather's swords.

Interesting arguementI agree with a lot of it.
But I think that any forecasts made are fairly shakey, purely down to the fact that digital storage technology is advancing at such a rate.
Give it a couple of years and solid state memory will be the storage medium of choice.
You can get a 2Gb card that's half the size of a second-class stamp, for a very low price. It won't be long before the a 200Gb card the size of a credit card (or smaller) is a common feature.
So whilst the size of documents, photos and videos increases, due to better and better resolution, The rate at which storage technology is developing will out-strip it.
