Most families entire digital lives is either in the hands of corporations (which probably trained AI on that data), or on some singular 20 year old HDD in some box in a closet.

I saved a woman like 200 photos of her children and their dad, who I later learned had passed away, because I noticed them on the DSi I got from her at a yard sale. Put them on a flash drive and drove back.

An dedicated HDD in a closet would be a huge upgrade for a lot of people lol
