A device to help mom digitize old memories

For the woman who gave you life, you can help her keep all her old memories this Mother's Day with this digital picture converter. Looking a little like a small paper shredder, this device lets you feed in photographs which will then be converted into a format you can edit on a PC.

We know what you're thinking--a scanner can do exactly the same thing for much cheaper. But honestly, we don't think anyone will relish trying to teach their mom how to use a flatbed scanner and Photoshop Elements for resizing, cropping, and touch-ups. This solution is much simpler, even though it costs more at about $150.

There's one caveat. We suggest you go hide or destroy those old Polaroids of yourself as a baby. Otherwise mom might make your most embarrassing moments suddenly available for all to see online.
