Woe betide any poor souls who rely on digital media entirely.  'Oh dear we 
had a hard drive crash lastr night and all our wedding photos, 
pictures of the kids with mom and pop when they were stiil with us, the 
kids growing up - all gone!'

I recently got hold of a trunk full of family photos, many  going back to 
the last century, and I don't mean that starting with 1900.  I dread to 
imagine what I would have, or more likely wouldn't, if digital media had 
been used back then for image capture and storage, particularly magnetic 
based media.

I will stick to silver halide photography, and I have no problems with 
being a member of a small minority.
