Right now, people aren't asking themselves how many of the 300 photos of their one-week vacation they really want to see again. They just keep them all.</p> JB, when everything’s digital we won’t need attics :) Seriously, I think CIOs have so many regulations related to data retention that storage is an issue for them, but really it’s the digital movies, music, photos, etc. that storage is now trying to handle.

Maybe we should stop hording data… a lot of it is truly useless and will never be used. Just because you CAN doesn’t mean you should…
