Click Free {Backup Digital Photos}
A 2007 report from Deloitte and Touche noted that 85-90 percent of consumers don’t back up their computers. Focus groups have revealed we find the backup process just too confusing and complicated. Clickfree hard drives and DVDs make backing up fool-proof. If you’re old enough to know how to insert a CD or DVD in a player or plug in a USB drive into a PC, you can do this. Because that’s literally all you do. The process is automatic — as soon as the hard drive is connected to the USB port or the DVD is inserted into the tray — it starts backing up. That’s it. You don’t have to do anything else. You can leave and do something else, and when you come back, your data is safe.
This would make the perfect tech gift for the non-techy on your list or just anyone who loves taking digital pictures & wouldn’t want to lose them due to a computer crash. In other words, this could be the perfect gift for just about anyone on your list! AND – it is a great value!
