Electronic innovation and advances in information technology have given the consumers a huge selection of electronic gadgets which are sophisticated as well as easy-to-use.
The earliest camcorders used analog videotape but after the mid-1990s, recording digital video became the norm of the camcorders. Electronic giant Sony seems to agree with it and expands its digital photo S-frame line-up on time.
Electronics can degrade nicely but we’re told not to accept that. I think as these things become more widely seen as just tools and not beautiful things we’ll start seeing them differently.
Electronic producers in China are quite eager to offer bulk purchases of their goods at quite reduced rates. You can also make arrangements having a wholesale dropshipper for you to promote their goods in your on the web website.
Technology was no way behind. The advent of digital technology has proved that everything is really possible. Technologically, paper and ink are still the way to go.
I don’t know about you, but I still can’t quite get absorbed in the gizmo that just delivered an e-mail from my boss, and I certainly don’t want to get an e-mail from my boss while I’m reading a story.
2010 Year Of The Tablet PC, Android, iPhone, Ebook
2010 was a fascinating and fast-paced year for tech. Some trends that have
been around for a while reached the tipping point this year, and some new
trends are emerging that will dominate 2011.
Take cell phones for example. You get it home, turn on the t.v. and there
is another version of your same phone that just came out. Same with
computers.
HTC Android….what does HTC even stand for anyway?
It really is hard to stay up on all the gadgets and technology that this
world is coming out with.
I personally love all the gadgets on the market. I think somewhere in my DNA
I have a gadget/tech gene that drives me to buy or try the latest thing.
I also know that a lot of people will not give in to all this technology.
If it doesnt have wires, or it talks to you its just not worth having.
Heck, my mom was amazed that I could sit across the room and send a document
to my printer wirelessly.
No new toys until I can use the ones I haveBy Nanya Friend

JANUARY is three weeks along. It's time to get serious about a New Year's resolution.
I don't usually make any, but this year was an exception.
For the past two years, I have received digital gadgets for Christmas.
I resolve to learn to use them.
I got a reminder this week when I learned that Starbucks customers soon will be able to wave their smart phones and walk away with 31-ounce cups of coffee. One of my new toys is a phone smarter than my 2-year-old smart phone.
So now when I'm at the mall and want coffee, I won't have to bother reaching into my wallet, which may be empty because of the monthly bill I'm paying for a data plan and unlimited text messaging.
My co-workers will get to experience their editor pumped up on a triple dose of caffeine. The story ideas will flow. The commas will fly into place.
Actually, even before New Year's I could perform basic functions on my new phone and my spiffy little netbook computer. However, they have much more potential to tap.
I made my resolution when I caught myself hankering for yet another gadget - an e-reader such as a Kindle or Nook. They're catching on in my circle of family and friends.
Then I thought of my old pal, the late Jody Jividen.
Jody, a longtime Daily Mail writer and editor who died of cancer several years ago, loved music. He had a large collection of albums and was always on top of new releases. Ever frugal, he realized he needed a check on his spending.
So he imposed a rule on himself. He would not let himself buy a new album until he was familiar enough with his most recent purchase that as one song ended, he could predict the next.
I was struck by the simple beauty of that principle and often have thought of ways it might apply to other consumption challenges.
Could I force myself to prepare and eat the food in my kitchen cabinets and refrigerator before buying more?
Surely.
Could I read the books and magazines already in my house? Could I wear the clothes already in my closets or at least get rid of some before shopping for more?
Technology is a special challenge because it is proliferating so quickly and expensively. The upfront cost of a new device often is just the down payment. If you get a Wii, for example, you're going to want the costly games.
The e-reader was tugging at me as I read an article, on actual paper, about a new Mark Twain autobiography. The article cited several other books on Twain that sounded even better.
It occurred to me that if I had the e-reader, I might have been tempted to order some of those books at only $10 apiece. But would I have made the time to read multiple books on Mark Twain? Doubtful.
