I'm currently digitising all of my old audio cassettes via my Tascam CS-A580. During the 80s and early 90s I recorded all my live radio shows on cassette. When recordable CDs came on the scene I recorded onto them. Nowadays everything is recorded straight to MP3 files via BUTTM streaming software.

There was a situation a few years ago where a retired pastor from the same denomination as my dad was imprisoned for historic sex offences against girls that dated back to the late 70s. He only faced justice because a new pastor was digitising the church records and she found his file

Ireland is attempting to position itself as a 'digital leader' by embedding AI across all public and private sectors (incl. digitising 100% of public services by 2030).
There is never any question about cybersecurity in that context.

Explainer: Is my fridge vulnerable to a cyber attack?
From fridges and heating systems to security cameras and alarms, a range of devices once largely mechanical can now be monitored and controlled remotely, creating opportunities for cybercriminals.

Digitising and streamlining customs processes will have no significant adverse impact on Northern Ireland.

Today, digitising records for the national survey of ponds.
Walking through the species lists, I have a strong smell memory evoked for each one.
This one in Northumbria (nearly into Scotland) smelt so sweet - I wish I could bottle it. When I came home, I could still smell it in my wool jumper.

Sign the petition to stop the privatisation of the British Library.
At a time when public spaces are being fenced off for corporate interests, any attempt to privatise the British Library represents an attack on the public's right to accessible, free and communal spaces.

It makes you wonder how much has been lost and thoughtlessly disposed of while these were saved largely by happy accident. The notion that digitising has now preserved them "better" is also a bit concerning (digital sources actually tending to be more, not less, ephemeral and prone to obsolescence).
