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?

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