Because digital photo frames are now selling at the rate of 10 a minute at PC World this holiday and growing at 900% annually, it’s very likely that it will hurt the custom of sending traditional postcards to family and friends. With the integration of digital and wireless technology, anyone can send holiday images postcard-style to other people with digital photo frames.

Niall O’Keeffe from PC World said: “If you’re on holiday or for that matter at a party – wherever you are really – you can send digital pictures direct to the frame via an internet connection. We suspect that this will lead to a decline in the postcard as this digital alternative emerges, though whether or not we’ll see a similar level of sauciness in the pictures is anyone’s guess!”

Aside from that, digital photo frames have other uses. It can be used for sending birthday greetings, announce importance occasions in your life like weddings or anniversaries, or seek the opinion of family and friends while you’re out shopping.

Still, the nostalgic feeling of reading handwritten postcards is very difficult to do away. I say combine all the wonderful technology but it is nice revisit those age-old practices from time to time.
