Wallpaper Wonders

Ask anybody what wallpaper was 20 years ago and they would have said it was a sticky large paper with pattern that you stuck on walls as an alternative to paint. Fast forward to today and most will inform you that it's the image on your computer's desktop for all to admire. Confounding isn't it? But honestly, it's doubtful anyone would have it any other way (especially for those who have computer!).

While it is possible for people to simply scan or snap their own photos to upload onto their desktop, it is becoming a huge trend to find the newest and coolest wallpapers to adorn computer screens. You'll see people scouting for images of classic artworks (Da Vinci anyone?) and modern digital art (Got to love those squiggly lines!), the latest sport cars (Ferrari all the way...), cartoon characters (Is there any picture of superman not in tights?), and of course the most popular of all - celebrities.

People want to look like them, act like them, talk like them, walk like them, and just plain want to BE them. So it is no wonder that images of celebrities can be found on countless computers across the globe as computer screen wallpapers.
