Millennials know that hoarding is bad, and can lead to dangerous conditions in your home. But they live in a different world, and some suffer from a different kind of hoarding disorder.
Do you know any digital hoarders? Yeah, I'm guilty of this myself. Not videos, but notes and URLs. I have documents in folders within other folders going back to 2005, stuff I jotted down that I thought might be useful in my work someday. I might get around to abandoning that stuff sooner or later. After all, most of it is in a format I can no longer open, anyway. -via Boing Boing
2005? I have my email going back to 1995. All the stuff that old is in a text file format only used by the Pine email utility.

Yeah me too: emails and documents back to 1995, my first computer year. But it's all good. Like a black box of my life including whole relationships, jobs and penpal friendships. The only real issue is those damned browser tabs, but I found a solution: either clean them up one by one every other week or just dump them all at once.
