Within nine years, nearly 300 million digital cameras were sold, and half of all households in the U.S. and Japan owned one, as did 41% of all European households, making digital photography one of the fastest-adopted technologies of all time.

...Moreover, should Paris and I start doing the old "Advanced Health Course" with each other, I request the rights to film our frolicking with a night-vision camera and release it on DVD under the title "1 Night in the Hilton." I will call it this because I hope that, with Paris's connections, we are able to secure a free room for an evening in her family's hotel chain. Or at least a discount. I'm willing to spend up to $75, depending on whether the mini-bar is free...
