Memories Preservation - Problem Definition
Mankind's desire to preserve and share memories from one generation for the benefit of future generations has been evident for millennia.
Records of family genealogies, histories of the rise and fall of nations, societies, and individuals with stories of their successes and failures
have been kept since the beginning of recorded history in every enduring society.
This desire to preserve and share memories continues unabated and may be increasing in our day. For example,
the two key reasons given for taking pictures with digital still cameras, driving this market's huge growth, are the desire
to "Preserve memories" (91% of respondents in a 2007 survey, up from 68% in 2000) and the desire to "Share with others"
(74% in 2007, up from 67% in 2000). [i]
At the same time, however, our modern tools of preservation, including and especially digital preservation, are more fragile than
the rolls of papyrus buried with the pharaohs. [ii]
Even if optical disks could preserve data for 100 years, machines capable of reading them would be largely unavailable in less than half that time.
The baked-clay tablets of the Sumerians and Babylonians have preserved history for 60 centuries while today's technologies cannot guarantee
preservation and readability for one.

The conversion and preservation services you are seeking from Digital Pickle today are not the end of the journey but a critically required cycle
in the on-going cycle of preservation. Today you may be transferring paper photos or analog tapes to digital files and media.
Tomorrow (hopefully not in many years...), you will go through another transformation cycle required by the then available presentation technology.
We will be here to help you during that next cycle as well.
