One in five shared that they have completely lost cherished photos due to misplaced or stolen phones, meaning they've lost access to vital memories if their pictures weren't printed out.
The survey revealed that four out of 10 people believe their earliest memories involve family holidays, followed by memories of school life (39%) and trips to the seaside (31%).
Despite 42% of participants believing that modern technology is causing the demise of traditional photographs, the passion for printed pictures appears to be growing with Gen Z printing photos at least four times a year.
The study, commissioned by holiday park firm Haven, is designed to inspire Brits to "free their memories" by revisiting cherished moments through printed photos.
The most frequently captured images on digital devices include family moments (60%), holiday memories (58%), and scenic views (42%).
