The Missing Digital Photo Albums
The article discusses the absence of digital photo albums, attributing it to the limitations of current rectangular digital screens designed for video content, which do not optimally display portrait-oriented photos.

The author proposes that industry innovation, such as square digital frames, could pave the way for the long-awaited digital photo album.
