The depreciation of digital images is an interesting phenomenon. Like the real paper, the quality of memes on the Internet gets worse and worse over time. We were promised that digital medium would never lose quality yet here we are. Of course, it's not just lossy compression but bit rot too.
I wonder how we will be tackling these problems in the future. Maybe, at some point, the savings of JPEG will be negligible for what we have so we'll have images as PNGs?
