For some reason looking at photos on a screen is just not the same as looking at a printed picture. There's something organic about looking at printed pictures that takes you away. I remember how much fun it was to look at photographs (printed ones..) when I was younger. I'm 25 now and rarely get to do that any more.

Maybe it has to do with how much time it takes to flip a page ? Meaning that we look at pictures in less detail now because we like hitting the "Next" button..

Or maybe it has to do with the fact that things that are digital don't feel that 'real' ?

Also, there is the case where you want to put up pictures of your loved ones around you. Those would need to be printed as well.

I know that this is probably the wrong forum to bring these feelings up in, but I'm 100% sure that my parents and older people definitely feel this way.

That's probably where the market lies.
