My log books (30+) are safely in my drawer. And I can read them any time if I want to check certain information at home. But I rarely do so because I would rather look forward to my next dive than history.
After diving for 23yrs+ and 2200 dives(rec and tec), I still do not know the reason why I need to download the diving history of the dives that I had done.
Nothing is safe in a drawer. The trend nowadays is towards less paper and more digital files that are backed up to the cloud and available on a mobile device at any time. If you want to go back and check a previous dive, say you're making a return trip and you want to see which sites were your favorites, or you want to answer a member question on ScubaBoard, how easy is it to click on the map of your dive sites and up comes the logs for that site? Or do a search within the logbook? Or simply scroll through the dives by clicking? As compared to looking through stacks of paper logbooks. When you have 200 dives, it's one thing. 2000 is another.
