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.

I've had a camera on the side of my house, streaming 30 pictures per second for 12 years, I only look at about 2% of those pictures - though I have a computer that sounds an audible alert when something interesting is happening in them...

That's over 11 billion photos, so far, "lost" from just one camera out of six we have running 24-7 now.

    That’s taking a very literal stance on lost images.

    The way people use their cell phone cameras isn't too far behind...
