All I know is that once meaningful data/content loses its pull much more quickly than discs lose their data.
Yeah, that's why I'll stick with blu-rays only with "long term" stuff... and it's surprisingly difficult finding stuff worthy of that name! Also, 25 GBs is way more than I thought.
In general, with the modern version of "memories" (a shitload of photos one will never see in their lifetime), there's definitely some part of looking/traveling back for whatever reason, which I do myself too.
Shoot, thinking about it, nostalgia is literally temporarily "rolling back" into a previous version of self. That's quite wild.
I don't take many "modern memories"; at most I scrape the bottom of the disk into a directory whenever a big change happens to my computer.
The real gold instead for me are my projects, which are both memories and past references, a trampoline for new and exciting stuff; that must be why I care so much to document them so heavily, be it with a truckload of comments or whatnot.
You know what, I think I might put all of my projects in the disk, or at least the done (and mostly "old") ones. Yeah, that will do.

With Simulation, all things are possible.... ;-)
