Digital cameras can really enhance your computing work.
Digital photos can be placed into emails, put into word processing documents, and put on Websites for the whole world to see. They can be stored on your computer so when you need to edit them and use them in a different way, you can do it with ease and it won't cost you a dime, just a little time.
