um, you and your friends might want to look into something calls "photo 
albums."   

See, what you do is, you   download the data from your images onto permanent 
non-magnetic media called "photo paper" and then you store those images in 
archival=grade storage media (the album) for later generations to look at 
and 
admire.

This same permanent non-magnetic media is perfect for displaying images in 
public, they can be put into a "picture frame" and hung on a wall, or 
displayed 
on a table, or put into envelopes and mailed to relatives who want to see 
what 
you people look like today and want to keep those images themselves instead 
of keeping them on a computer where advancing techcnology or the occasional 
"computer glitch" could turn them all into random data.

Pretty newfangled ideas, I know, but they might catch on.
