Do we ever sit back and give any thought to the capacity of the human mind to store and retrieve information?

If we do and have any grasp at all of its remarkable ability to help us relive special moments of our lives, how does that hold up over time?
Hahaha ... 🙄
Okay, this Silver Blogger doesn't want to talk about that too much either. 😉 In my blog here, though, I thought you might enjoy a quick glimpse into what I have been working on for one near and dear. Intended as a special gift in the not too distant future.
Brief Backstory
With the relentless advance of technology in our time in human history, am I alone in saying it seems to be almost impossible to keep up with it? However we might answer, most of us likely have our version of a similar approach.
Focus on what seems to be the most important and of greatest value to us.
For me, I have known about what are now commonly called digital photo frames for years. Early on, when combining their limited features and fancy price, I was intrigued with the idea, but had no interest. By now, we have learned these most of digital device ideas will continue to get better with competition and over time the survivors of this winnowing process will be mass produced bringing the cost to us down.
The "sweet spot" will vary for each of us. For me, it has been reached over the last several months. The remarkable number of options and their relatively inexpensive price for very high quality output today is hard to pass up.
Highlighting the specs today:

On a parallel track, when we think about how far smart phones have come, in terms of the quality of the digital images and sounds they can capture, being able to pair them up with these digital photo frames creates an opportunity difficult to resist.
Photo frame. Did I mention these devices can also support short video clips? 💖
Our ever shrinking world significantly reduces the challenge of interacting with those near and dear. As a gift, this digital device holds a lot of promise.
Memory Lane!
We've likely all read about people who are born with a photographic memory. Have you ever known one of them? I never have, but I assume there really are those who have this amazing ability.
The rest of us?
I like to think I have a pretty good memory. But, I know memories can seem to be more or less dormant, for a very long time, before something stimulates them coming back up into our conscious thought processes. At those times, do they not seem like they just happened the other day?
In our younger years, did looking at a photo album provide a common example of how this works?

Having one of these digital photo frames takes this whole concept to another level. Particularly when you experience short video clips, with sight and sound, at more than minimally acceptable levels of quality.
Simulating being there yourself?
No, not yet, but one can only wonder at the speed with which these changes to what is possible are coming. We might have to wait a week or two. 😉
Strolling down memory lane just got a lot easier. I do not think it takes much imagination to appreciate how much of an aide to that these new devices represent.
Gift giving is a commonly experienced aspect of the lives of most of us.

An inescapable part of it is experiencing the associated expectations and perceptions. We may be very pleased with our idea of what we think our gift to a dear one is going to mean to them. Expectations are raised, based on our perception.
What is their perception?
While I wait to learn the latest answer to this question myself, what does this post conjure up in the minds of my readers?
What has been your experience with gift giving? Maybe some cherished memories? Or maybe not so much, as it was disappointing?
Best wishes, until we meet again,
QT
