Just think of the Ansel Adams photos that are say 100 years old that would not last.
And they documented early America, Heaven knows if those photos would have ever been taken in this "damn that sure is a pain in the a$$ and a lot of work" society.

Heck he took that large format camera up and down mountains and deserts.

Try to make a 6x4 foot Gelatin Silver print with a digital photo today.

The great Ansel Adams would often say that his negatives were “the score” and the print was “the performance.” And one of his most famous “performances” of all time is Moonrise over Hernandez

We got no negatives, just thumb drives.
And a computer is thought to be out of date in three or four years today.

ts!
