Always good to keep things in perspective. What data from your life will be intact 50, 100, 200 years from now? A printed photo? A moleskine notebook? An external hard drive? A tiny memory card?
Everything kept/stored exists on a spectrum of impermanence. Some longer than others. Example: paper photos fade, files on magnetic drives suffer bit degradation over time etc. The cloud seems more fragile because constant power is needed, and a willingness to keep it turned on.
