It used to be you could find a box of photos or keepsakes that you inherited to look back on how things were or when you were a kid. Now, most of that is stored on phones, and most parents probably don’t think to share or save them in a way to be passed down in the future.

Nah.

It's true that things will be lost in this way, but it's also try that parents are producing many gigabytes of photos and video of their children, most of which they're storing in the cloud.

My parent's have several photos of me under the age of 15. I have probably a thousand of my three year old twins.

I also have lots of videos of the mundane... how they eat breakfast, how they say whatever thing, using their favorite spoon.

It would be really weird to see video's of my own interactions with my parents at this age. I think it would be a profound experience. It's hard to see them in that way.
