The problem is that you cannot just throw away your data.

I am talking about applications like to do lists. Or you running app. Or I do not know... Currency exchange calculator. People do not care about that data. Ordinary person maybe would be a bit sad about loosing emails but not terribly. Maybe half of people would be trying to get their picture back rest would just say 'oh well...' And moved on.

People are so focused on code they forget that the actual values is data. We create software to transform data from what we have to what we want. A software that can’t do it or, worse, corrupt the data, is worthless.
