Investment Opportunities from the Home Digital Front
Source: PC magazine Published: Mar 2000
This white paper was prepared in 2000 by George Schussel for publication in a popular newsstand PC magazine. Some quotes from the article follow:
“I was recently interviewed by a magazine on the subject of what the “hot” trend in home computing will be for 2001. Anyone who can accurately predict these trends can more easily figure which companies are likely to grow at large rates. After thinking about it for a while, my choice for the most practical, useful home digital device for 2001 came down to digital cameras. In the note below I’ll talk about why and cover some of the other supposed “hot” new trends. The choice of digital cameras as the technology, which is the most real and will have the most home impact in 2001, seemed pretty easy to me. Digital photography has been around for a number of years, of course. But only recently have I seen multi-megapixel cameras that can meet or exceed the print and display quality of single lens reflex 35mm film cameras. The miniaturization of these cameras, in combination with a zoom lens makes them much more transportable than a traditional camera of comparable quality. The price of high quality digital cameras is dropping quickly and should be in the $200 range soon.”
