In the year 2050 or so there going to be a giant scream of anguish when historians, students and geeks of all types realize that most of the digital images produced during the first part of the 21st Century disappeared in The Great Hard Drive Crash of 2049. No pictures of the President. No pictures of the winner of the Kentucky Derby. All that history down the drain.
Face it, printed newspapers and magazine don't really need things THAT quickly. The paper is going to roll off the presses around midnight anyway so what difference does it make if the picture is ready 15 minutes after it's shot or two hours later as long as it makes the deadline? Not a lot. Things have been working pretty well for the last few years. Film gets shot, film gets processed, scans are made, film is filed, and those images will be retrievable in 2095...
