I am wanting to "film" myself over the next year in a way which will last
into the future & be readily playable.  Do you think VCR's will still be
around 5, 10, 15 ........ yrs from now?  I have a remote mike for our movie
camera & it would be the cheapest & most convenient way for me to do this.
But if it won't be playable, then I want to do this in a way which will.
I don't want the grandchildren to remember me only rigid, unable to
communicate. I want them to see ME.
I want to express my wishes for that time; the kind of care I'd want &
where, etc.  I don't have a supportive spouse, etc.  I want to go so far as
to take responsibility for myself in this & set it up soon.
Whatever else I'd want to say or do......
So, back to the original question.  What form of media do you think will be
around for a long time, & would be easy for me to use on my own over this
next year?  Any guesses?

M.Dawn

the digital video-movie camera will produce a digital file which should be
around longer.
