From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The world's first LCD digital photo greeting card lets you send images and sound to your friends and family in a paper-thin, traditional-styled card.
Euri Inc., American Greetings Corp. and Target Corp. jointly revealed the Greeting Card on January 6. The greeting card has a 2.4" LCD screen that can store up to 50 digital images or can be personalized with music or audio messages up to five minutes in length.
With the explosion of social media sites like Facebook, Flickr and YouTube, we've seen a transformation in ways consumers communicate and share," said Josiahs Livingston, director of marketing and product development at Euri. "The digital photo card goes one step beyond - creating both a highly personalized and memorable gift."
Every time the card is opened the screen is activated and the media starts playing. The cards have approximately three hours of battery and are rechargeable via USB. Euri will demonstrate the greeting cards at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, January 7 to 10.
The development of slimmer and cheaper LCD screens has resulted in a growing desire for digital-based media in physical, paper-based products. In September 2009, the first video-based advertisement appeared in an issue of US publication Entertainment Weekly, allowing readers to watch a video advertisement on a 2.7 millimeter thick screen embedded into the magazine.
The cards are priced at $19.99 and are available from Target in the US.
