A Slice Of Life, Literally




What will they think of next?  I found myself asking the age-old question when I came across a new technological toy on the internet today.  Check this out.  Kodak has come out with a new camera called the Slice.  Heard of it?  Yes? No? Either way, I’m going to tell you a little bit about it.  Kodak boasts that the Slice was built for socializing.  I bet all you FB junkies are intrigued already. It’s kind of like a hybrid, half camera-half photo album.  The Slice allows you to tag friends in photos and sort and organize albums without leaving your camera screen.  The camera does lack wireless internet though, so you’ll just have to wait till you get home to upload your pictures. Then again, you can always mobile upload, which we already know I detest.

Kodak should change the name of the camera from the Slice to the Enabler because enabling this growing culture’s growing addiction to social networks is exactly what it’s doing.  But you don't really care, you're thinking right now, "I NEED this." Anyway, for a mere $350.00 you can make your uploading easier, because after all, if you can't post your pictures on Facebook, how will the world know what you're doing?
