Indeed.  It's more of all the things wrapped up in one package that I
find fascinating.  Granted, that one package really doesn't all of
those things all that well, but using our wonderful imagination ...
who knows what the future holds.

I recall sometime ago asking in regards to art shows and the
requirement that cameras be checked "What about cell phones" and now
one has the ability to quickly take a "photo" of a piece of art and
put it on a website fairly quickly.  And the image will be reasonably
good.

Look out future, here we come!
