E-mail, text message, Skype, and even snail mail are all viable alternatives.

  E-mail- Not really. You get a luddite on email and then they fall for a phishing scam or get the computer so infected with mal-ware that it becomes unusable Text message- Can't share video easily Skype- Can't share the moment earlier in the day when the little one said that innocent cute thing Snail mail- The best thing you could do is set up an 'if-this-then-that' procedure where it prints any picture taken from your mobile but again no video. As much as I hate to see computers pushed into the 'appliance' market it does make sense for some.

  E-mail: Can't do it. My mother-in-law has an inbox that has thousands of unread messages. It'd just get lost in there. It's good for one-off pictures, but I need something with a concept of albums, tagging, searching, review later, etc. Oh, and it has to be easily accessible from a phone in just a few clicks to "show co-workers", etc. SMS/MMS: my mother is on a phone plan that is very expensive MMS-wise. Skype: same as email: no concept of albums, etc. Snail mail: too strong and too expensive. I am not about to mail thousands of pictures or even flash drives to 2-3 dozen relatives. Edit: Re: email, I also share lots of pictures. I mean, DSLR-dumps of multiple hundreds per week. Email limits won't allow me to share this many pictures.
