So if they are indeeed really dead then it is a sad day indeed for genealogists every way. I do use a Digital Photo Frame as well, having a new son its a great way to keep the Grandparents appraised of the lil mites progress, especially with the advent of wireless frames like the eStarling that you can email pictures to directly.

I've met a few people, some in their mid-twenties, who were "into scrapbooking" after moving down south and discovered this whole scrapbooking sub-culture. You'll also see home shopping segments devoted entirely to scrapbooking gadgets and materials. Once you have it in your RAS scrapbooking seems to show up everywhere. I did a quick google search and suggestions are that scrapbooking is a $1-$6.5 billion industry. I’d have to disagree that photo albums are all but dead.
