When I started flying, the world was using cassette tape for storage.
When I was a flying instructor, the world was using 5 1⁄4-inch floppy disks.
When I was a freight pilot in Darwin, the world was using ​3 1⁄2-inch floppy disks.
When I was in the airline in Perth, the world first had the internet.
When I moved to the UK, the world began using USB sticks.
.. and now "the cloud" and relying on one piece of proprietory software seems to be the thing, and I think that's two companies I know of who have reneged on their "lifetime" deals.

... so I am very glad that I, also, have recorded everything on paper logbooks like the one above.
