<\/p>\nWe live in an age where we store our memories on social media. In fact, we\u2019ve almost become programmed to believe that we\u2019re making a note of all the special moments in our life because we can share pictures, videos and statuses on platforms such as Facebook or Twitter.<\/p>\n
Sadly, such social media channels aren\u2019t always trustworthy forms of storing memories \u2013 and don\u2019t hold a candle to past keepsakes like home videos. With this in mind, here\u2019s why you shouldn\u2019t let social media determine your memories.<\/p>\n

Remember MySpace? It reached its peak in 2006 before user numbers bottomed out. These days, many people can\u2019t even remember their passwords to the site \u2013 and because of this, they don\u2019t have access to their old photos and videos. While it might seem unimaginable now, the fall in popularity could happen to sites like Facebook or Twitter.<\/p>\n
It may seem like everyone uses social media, but this is far from the case. In fact, many people \u2013 such as older friends and relatives \u2013 don\u2019t use sites like Facebook or Twitter. This means that your memories aren\u2019t stretching as far as they could be if you stored your pictures and videos on discs that can be shared around with your family and friends.<\/p>\n
There are no doubt some moments in your life that you don\u2019t mind sharing with friends. Meanwhile, other occasions \u2013 such as precious moments with your family \u2013 you might prefer to keep off social media. Where do these videos go? Often they end up getting deleted from phones and cameras to make space. Ultimately, they disappear as if they never existed in the first place.<\/p>\n
Facebook was founded in 2004, before booming in around 2008. While for some users there are a good ten-plus years of memories to reflect on, the site doesn\u2019t take into account that people had a life before signing up. This means that people can be fooled to believe that they\u2019re keeping memories, but in actual fact, they\u2019ve only saved a short amount from their life.<\/p>\n
If you were lucky enough to capture home videos before the age of social media, you can keep hold of them by transferring them from cine to DVD<\/a>. This will ensure that you\u2019re not just letting social media determine your memories.<\/p>\n
