Edit: To everyone mentioning that digital photos aren't guaranteed to last forever, yup: That's what indefinitely kinda means. There is no guarantee. Could last another day because the medium the only copy was stored on failed, or it could last for thousands of years because it was properly backed up in a lossless format.

Things stored digitally are sadly anything but everlasting, a lot is lost to time already

You have to take measures to preserve and back it up, it's definitely not guaranteed.
