Photos going Digital
September 23rd 2007 18:53
Since we’ve been in England we’ve come across people with digital photo frames in their houses. Surprisingly, not many of them are using them. They seem to be something that many people buy and then never get round to loading. Well, maybe it’s the people I know who don’t use them.
Personally I think they’re a great idea. The alternative to the digital picture frame is to have an ongoing slide show on your computer, and since you’re more likely to be doing something else with that machine, it isn’t very convenient when it comes to someone wanting to look at the photos you’ve taken. (And believe me, we’ve taken a huge number since we came to the UK on holiday.) Whether they want to look at them is another thing, of course. We all know how boring other people’s holiday photos can be (not ours, of course!)
Anyway, even if your relatives don’t want to look at the photos, it’s a nice way to see them again yourself while you’re sitting having dinner, or watching boring tv, or listening to music.
I’m assuming everyone knows what these digital picture frames actually are. For those who haven’t come across them yet, they’re basically a way of loading your digital photos into what looks like an ordinary photo frame, and having a slide show go on as you go about your daily work. Or whatever it is you do around the house daily.
I think when we go back home we’ll investigate the price of buying one of these in NZ, and load up all these photos that are sitting on the laptop!
