A DVD’s Lifespan Is 30 Years & Your Undeveloped Film Is As Good As Gone [INFOGRAPHIC]

I have an extensive DVD collection. In fact, some may say the amount I own is absolutely ridiculous. The thing is, I love them- I cherish my DVDs as though each is a child bore from the fruits of my labour. You can imagine the horror I felt upon discovering the below INFOGRAPHIC. As it turns out, a well used DVD can be garbage within 30 years – this means my favourites are going to burn out faster than the ones I rarely watch. That just isn’t fair. This INFOGRAPHIC details the life span of a lot of our common data storage tools (remember floppy discs?) – and I thought you might find it interesting to see how much longer your undeveloped film will last before it’s gone forever.
