A chat with my brother's kid made me rethink my whole backup strategy
Last Sunday my 16 year old nephew asked why I had three external drives full of old photos and documents. He said 'Uncle Dave, you're not a museum, you're just carrying a heavy box.' That hit me harder than I expected. I spent the next hour deleting 40,000 duplicate screenshots and old app data that I'd been hoarding since 2015. Now I keep one cloud folder for important stuff and one drive for memories, that's it. Has anyone else had a younger person point out something obvious about their digital clutter that they couldn't see themselves?
