I don't have any photo albums.

I mean, looking back, my grandparents had photo albums. Lots of them, as I recall. And when they took any pictures, they had to take them to a drugstore or whatever to get them developed.

My parents, and my aunts and uncles have photo albums. Same sort of deal, only a higher chance of Polaroid pictures.

Nowadays, you have even have printers that can fit on your damn desk that print photo quality (or pretty close to it), or you can take your digital pictures to any place that has a Sony PictureStation (or other name brand variant) and print them out yourself, with or without all the bells and whistles. (zooming in, redeye reduction, etc.)

But I see a lot less photo albums these days. (Fuck you, scrapbooking is not the same thing, and it's a goddamned waste of time for the most part. Also, a bitch to copy.)

Is this one of those things that are just largely going to go the way of the dodo? Like worrying about the cost of long distance calls, or having the milkman deliver milk? (I actually do remember having a milk crate at home when I was a kid because we did have milk deliveries up until I was, oh.... five or six.) Or is it just a phase?

Or is just because I don't go over to other people's places a lot?
