The Way To Imagine Digital Photo Frames
Photo frames are becoming part of our life day by day, as the digital photography has taken
over the classical one there was the demand for device that could show the digital photos
similar to an old album. It would have been hard to imagine digital photo frames in the past,
but not any more. With the digital frame you can save the pictures you want to display in the
frames memory and after that, the pictures will be shown one by one, you practically create
a slide. Another great advantage is that you can connect your frame to the Internet and thus
download the latest photos.
I'm not going to ask you to imagine a digital photo frame, just think of the mechanism and
the way it works. You are in Europe on a visiting tour and you want to send home the
pictures you make, the only problem is that your parents can't handle a computer so you
can upload your pictures on a specialized site. The frame will get the pictures from the site
and show them immediately, so practically your parents will just see the pictures on the
frame changing, without doing anything. You can also display videos on your frame not only
pictures.
Another argument for having a digital frame is that statistically speaking almost 65% of the
digital pictures are never printed, so practically having an external support to show your last
taken pictures is a very good idea. Digital frames vary greatly in price, in quality and
characteristics, if you consider in acquiring a digital frame take in consideration the following
models, they are reasonably cheap, and offer a reliable quality. Those who imagined these
digital photo frames knew what they were doing.

The Web 2.0 Effect: The Characteristics of a web2.0 website
The term web2.0 was originally presented by O'Reilly Media (A well known media company
publishing books and websites on various computer technology topics). It's a term that
refers to a new generation of websites (social networking websites, wiki-based websites
etc). These websites take advantage of web application technologies and give web users
the ability to collaborate and share their experiences, views, opinions and interests while
they surf the web.
The web2.0 is a revolutionary phenomenon. Let's talk about the most basic characteristics
of the websites using the web2.0 concept:
- A web2.0 website should be completely interactive and dynamic with a friendly user-
interface based on the latest web2.0 technologies like AJAX.

them to make use of these applications through a web browser.
