Question
QUESTION: 1. What do you used to store photography forever?
2.  What is better photos taken: digital or web?  Digital you can photos or you can transfer it to laptop.

ANSWER: Hello Henry,

As long as a photo is just a "digital file", it is not really archival.  If you want to be sure to keep it for more than one generation, you must print it.  It is best to have it printed in a pro lab on archival paper.  Under the right conditions it could last several generations.  Nothing will last "forever".

Sorry, but the second question makes no sense to me.

A generation is a generic term and means 20 to 40 years.

I don't understand your second question.
