DIGITAL PHOTOFRAMES could be the final frontiere in digitizing mankind. the tiny framed photograph on the living room mantel is a real new technology. digital eyewear fizzled. putting a computer in the human brain and digitizing people is a scarcely used medical technology. its useful only in dire emergencies. not for the masses. “valleylist” thought digital clothing might someday take off with coats and jackets that display everything from television to simple advertising. probably too cumbersome and too expensive.
what pops out of the entire digital conversion homily is the need for a master program or device to control everything from off-the-grid heating and cooling to radio or television and most importantly the display of new videos. probably a cell phone could the job.
digital photo frames are a big business regardless of the latest review. everybody from sony to panasonic is getting into the digital photo frame business. it’s probably the end of the line as far as important new digital products.
digital photo “cloud” storage and retrieval is a big new business as well. right from the cloud to your favorite digital frame. set a timer and clock through the latest photographs stored on itunes cloud or the amazon cloud or windows pc pictures or picassa [a kind of google cloud] or the msn or yahoo photo album feature or kodak photo cloud or other digital photo storage provider.
what’s needed in the future is an easy to use master control bringing it all together. most likely an iphone app not too different from today’s top tips 10 handy iphone apps for home improvement or samsung tv apps or ipad apps for home theatre enthusiast or google apps for going off the grid or electric car iphone apps or lifestyle holiday countdown app not to mention iholidays.
louis daguerre artist and physicist and inventor of the daguerreotype photography is the “valleylist” avatar this week. the daguerreotype later became the foundation for modern photographic film and cameras. the daguerreotype “a one-of-a-kind image on a highly polished, silver-plated sheet of copper” was first displayed to the french academy of sciences in 1839.

analysis. digitizing everything peaked with “valleylist” consumer multi-media and data channelsand the idea that digital broadcast technology makes it possible to reach everybody. “the home of the future” suggests a more consumer-driven view of technology. the microprocessor and what to do with the latest new computer chip should really be the determining factor to high technology.
everything peaked at consumer multi-media and data channels. will digital broadcast be interactive. digital broadcast internet will change the world definitively. anybody anywhere can go wireless with their internet. the evolutionary step after the internet is probably a faster cheaper cell phone or multi-media touch screen tablet. new forms of entertainment and media are lagging behind technology. possibly new stanford-based medialab to focus on designing content for interactive digital broadcast media.
call it the day the internet went champagne super nova.
“valleylist” is lining up the digital future. all electric cars and off-the-grid electric power complete the picture of 21st century power and transportation.
“home of the future” should also be in the picture. the series of articles on electronic publishing is online. digital “movies film and video“ has a lot of articles that many describe as “gone digital”. electronic and digital music says a lot based on pop culture leading up to a beatles bonus track.
have to read the articles to find out if the digital revolution is yet complete.
for more information try the valleylist index. the valleylist syndication edition includes all editions starting with #1 “valleylist” - – the correct response.
to the existing list of planned titles “valleylist” has added “food” [emeril] v186 to the remaining planned titles “digital photo frames” [daugerre] v184 and “email revisited” [larry page] v185.
holiday art and entertainment. “2×2″ ($200) is on display at morty’s delicatessen 280 golden gate and “the head” self portrait [silkscreen] ($85) is included in the “tiny” show at the studio gallery 1815 polk street from 11.3 to 12.23.
it continues before during and after sf’s official turkey day celebration.

conclusion. politics. still can’t get anything done.
“valleylist” on the other hand predicts the end of technology as we know it. everything is already digitized or planned for digital conversion. the end of the digital microprocessor driven society is in full swing.
looks like a hybrid analogue digital future.
this edition futher justifies a need to totally redesign the internet. it needs to accomodate everybody. all devices need to be adapted to digital broadband. everybody in the world gets a computer. new forms of multi-media news and entertainment pop out of the stanford medialab. software and technology problems drop out of the internet equation.
“valleylist” alone will produce the internet on a chip.
