About The Author...Prior to founding My World Software Inc in 2003, George Moore was General Manager of a photographic equipment manufacturer in Minneapolis and had held prior positions in sales and marketing. While the conversion to digital photography occurred relatively slowly in the "people picture" side of the professional field, it became obvious that digital cameras were quickly gaining market share with consumers of all ages. Further, the digital camera quickly passed through the "Dad's gadget" phase into the field dominated by mom - recording and saving family memories.Watching a group of seniors in an airport waiting lounge comparing their digital cameras and seeing first hand the comfort level his grandchildren had with computers he became interested in developing software that would appeal to families and offer a way to use digital images and not just file them.Moore recruited some former employees and associates to develop the software while he focused on project management, sales and marketing.Moore lives in Connecticut with his wife. Three children, their spouses and seven grandchildren are nearby for market research.
