[upfvlxko] Digital photo album

Create a digital photo album device with durability and longevity comparable to a traditional paper photo album.

This is very challenging. Paper photo albums can survive the shock of being dropped out of a plane, storage in sun baked heat or arctic cold for decades if not centuries, as well as getting wet for short periods of time.

The first priority is maintaining the integrity of the data: RAID, error-correcting codes, and solid state drives are possible technologies.

The next priority is to make sure the data may be offloaded and the pictures viewed. Redundancy. Built in display. Redundant connectors and sockets for every type of connection: external displays, USB, ethernet, radio, infrared, etc.

Lastly, some interface for organizing photographs.
