a) You don't need electronics to play music though. Any more than you need electronics to see pictures.
b) Yes. It is.

No more than CD players are. If you want to listen to a huge range of music very easily then you have a machine that plays music. If you want to carry around (or display) a huge range of pictures very easily then you have a machine that displays pictures. Certainly, not everyone has a need for this, but when my cousin came back from Kenya he carried around a photoframe-like device for a while because it meant he could show people his holiday snaps without either printing off hundreds of pictures of needing to be near a PC. It was very handy. I'm not sure why you object to this.

Heh. Okay, that's a use of the thing that hadn't occurred to me. So far I've only seen them on people's desks where they just sit there cycling through photos and aren't even looked at -- hence a total waste of everything and just another bit of desk gadgetry.

Anything sitting there unobserved is, indeed, a waste of electricity and space. So yeah, ones on desks that are never off are a waste. Probably not any worse than all the energy taken up by people watching awful TV though :->
