In this short monologue, the speaker explains how they are using a PlusTech ePhoto scanner to digitize decades‑old family photographs while working from home. They describe pulling photos from the attic, loading them into the ePhoto device, and watching the images appear on the screen. The speaker notes that the photos are about 18 years old and that the process can be done simultaneously with phone calls. They compare the ePhoto to a Legacybox service, claiming the scanner is cheaper, faster, and more enjoyable, positioning the activity as a simple home project to pass time during lockdown.

Using, uh, this as an opportunity to do a little work at home. My office is kind of a mess because we have all these pictures, uh, in our attic. So we took them all out. Here it is. Here's one of the pictures of my son and wife. And I got this, uh, this thing called the— it's called PlusTech ePhoto. I don't know if you can see it there, but PlusTech ePhoto. And you just put it in and boom, it's done. And as I'm on calls I've just been banging these out. Let me show you the screen here. So right there, it just pops on the screen. So there's my old little baby son. Those, by the way, are almost 18 years old, these photos. And you just pop them out. So I'm on calls, um, and I'm just sitting here while I'm doing my calls, just scanning these in. I was using Legacybox, which, um, It seems pretty good, but this is cheaper, faster, and it's actually more fun going through all the old photos. So just an idea, something to— some home project that you can do that I'm doing right now while we are stuck at home.
