Humans Are Visual Beings—Technology Can Help

Posted: 7/6/2011

Your computer can be a window to the world; new processors can make this picture clearer than ever.

(NAPSI)—Most people experience life visually. From primitive cave paintings, through Egyptian hieroglyphics and Chinese ideograms, to the charts and photos and design elements we use to communicate with each other today, humans tend to create, record, share and experience life through visuals.

That may be why, according to a recent global study by Harris Interactive, most American, German, Chinese, South Korean and Indian adults create, document, share, view and live their lives through pictures, videos, stories, online posts, online communities, blogs, art, entertainment, e-mails and letters—and computers can be a big part of that visual world.

The survey also discovered:

• In the U.S., 75 percent of adults who watch movies view most of them on TV (including via video/DVDs, rentals or subscription services or cable/satellite providers), while 10 percent watch the majority of the movies they see at the cinema, and 7 percent view movies mostly on their computers.

• Sixty-eight percent of American adults who have visual experiences say photos of family and friends (posted online and physical photos) are the most integral element, more likely than adults in the other countries.

• Most American adults said capturing a memory is the most important reason to share visual experiences.

To enable, power and enrich the way you can see, share and live with your computer, Intel has created its second-generation Core processor that offers better overall power management and greater efficiency and battery life in the areas where most people are computing today: high-definition (HD) video, photos, mainstream gaming, multitasking and online socializing and multimedia. With Intel Wireless Display technology, by simply connecting your laptop to your TV wirelessly, you can now enjoy all your personal and online content on your big screen with great image clarity and sound.

You can even immerse yourself with full HD stereo 3-D viewing right on your PC and get awesome performance for mainstream gaming with no extra hardware needed.
