The More Things Change…
June 29th, 2006 by Grant in: TechnologyRecently my wife discovered Picasa. Picasa is a piece of software from Google that allows you to organize your digital pictures, modify them, print them, save them, email them…
Her favorite feature: Uploading them to Walgreens.
We haven’t printed pictures in years. Rather than creating traditional photo albums, I’ve set up a digital photo album on the internet that anyone in our family can view from their home computers. People can view the pictures whenever they want, not just when we get together for holiday parties.
The Picasa system is very simple to use, and uploading pictures to your local film developer is seamless once you set up an online account with the developer. Upload, and an hour later your pictures are ready.
While we have the technology and ability to print pictures on our home computer, it’s more efficient and cost effective to have them printed professionally.
So while it seems that technology has made traditional film a thing of the 90’s, it hasn’t eliminated the film processor. In fact, we’ve developed more pictures in the last two weeks than we have in the last 3 years!
Funny how things change, yet seem to stay the same.
What are your experiences with Picasa?
