Technology has indeed create miracles at this present world.
I recalled that in my childhood days.....
Playing "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" computer game at my uncle's PC (only 486, worst than Pentium) was a leisure...
Bought my first ever computer in DOS operating system using my wages for working after O'Levels, and spent more time playing PC games than doing school projects....
Look at the products selling at the recent SITEX 2005,
Super-computers, MP3 Players, Thumbdrives, Smartdrives...
and of course the Digital Cameras "Photographer's New Hope"
Imagine you are taking pictures,
(First) You can review your photos immediately via the camera's LCD panel;
(Second) You can delete any photos that are unwanted or of poor quality;
(Third) You do not need to develop your 300 photos at the Kodak or Fujifilm shops.
Save lots of $$$ and film... 40 cents per photo...
So the BIG QUESTION comes....
How can you show your photos to your friends (overseas pals, old classmates, the forgotten and extinct ones)?
A Good Solution to "Dissolve all your problems"
Post your pictures online and invite them to view the photos!!
Check out the following free online photo album hosting websites:

http://www.webshot.com

Personally, I downloaded the Sony imagestation software and uploaded my photos recently. Good and user-friendly to idiots like me...
Highly recommended!!
When using Webshot, uploading is user-friendly (no software required). But, I was "stuck" after reaching the max amount of photos posted....
When signing up Photobucket, uploading pictures one at a time almost "kill" my patience.... Fat chance for me to go there again...
Last of all, remember to ask a Photo CD whenever you develop a film. You can upload those wonderful photo online at no extra cost...except your precious time.
So enjoy admiring and updating your Photos!
After that, you can place your photo album in one corner to collect dust..
