London:
Digital storage of photographs is fast turning treasured albums
into relics.
Eight out of 10 people in Britain now prefer to store photos on
social networking sites or just on their laptops rather than print
them out and stick them in an album, says a new survey.
While nine in 10 of Britons own a camera, only 40 percent of them
print out pictures - and that too less than 10 percent of the
photos captured on cameras, reports the Daily Mail.
Instead, more than half or 52 percent prefer to display them on
social networking sites.
The survey, by PC World, also uncovered that people are far more
likely to treasure a favourite holiday picture (88 percent) over
the birth of a child (51 percent) or family get-together (65
percent).
Almost twice as many people would rather save their laptop or
mobile phone from a house fire compared to a family photo album.
