"A Proper Future Thing"

For David's birthday, I bought him a digital photo frame - the kind that you load a bunch of photos onto from a memory card and it runs through them one after the other, or randomly, according to the way you set it up.

He's really the perfect market for something like this - he's a gadget head, a keen digital photographer, and therefore overburdened with photos that will never see the light of day.

And one of the things I really love about his reaction to it is the subject line of this post; "It's a proper future thing" - the kind of thing that sci-fi used to have us expecting. And if I can't have my personal jet pack, I'll settle for having this in the house.

EDIT: The product link was screwing up the RSS page, so I had to take it out. You should be able to find it on the Philips website.

Good idea!
I quite fancy one myself for all the reasons stated.
