- DEMO Says
- A top tech blog reporting from CES last year railed on digital picture frames. Calling them “poorly designed,” and “tacky garbage,” the author erfectly illustrated the deep chasm that lies between the technosphere and the rest of the world. It’s a safe bet that a digital picture frame is proudly ensconced in most every grandparent’s home in the U.S. But he was right in that they sorely need an upgrade. Enter Trinity Convergence’s Gloop™ Digital Photo Sharing Technology, which allows direct P2P sharing without a PC. Right now, that means you can send pictures to Grandma in an instant with no effort on her end. In the future, it could mean a connected social network through a variety of devices.
