We are almost towards the end of another year and 2014 is just a couple months away. We have seen technology developing very fast in past few years. There are huge advancements in mobile phone sector. But still many of us prefer to stay with old methods. But now time has changed. I am talking about how you upload and save your photos and videos. Let me guess you may be saving it to your computer’s hard drive by transferring it via USB cable or you may be using some wireless transfer apps like AirDroid for Android phones and more for other.
