Just the other night i was watching the news and a man had recorded an incident of a funfair ride falling down on his cell phone. It is truly amazing how the development of photography, as well as all other technologies, has expanded throughout the years. He was the only individual who had captured it, and it was through the use of his cell phone. Who would have thought a couple of years ago that we could one day have cell phones that by simply pushing a button could capture images and videos of things or people around us? When I was younger the only form of a camera I knew were those huge, now very outdated, cameras that you had to basically hold with both hands because it was so big and heavy.. Nowdays you can pop down to your local store and purchase one that is the size of your palm, or get a camera phone that can do just the same thing.
Photography has been incorporated into our everyday lives through the creation of camera phones, and by not having a cell with these aspects it is just simply "not cool." It is ludacris when we come to think of how we lived in the past and how we live now. How did our grandparents manage without cell phones in the past is beyond me, and as i see it this is just the beginning of what is to come in the future, in terms of photographic technology.

Hey Taryn i agree its amazing how rapid technology has advaced in the last few years. Every month a new smarter, technologically advanced phone/camera is released. We just cant seem to keep up with the pace. After a couple of months after i buy a new phone it becomes old and obsolete. Its rather funny though because in all the time i have had a camera phone i have never used the camera!
When the strike was on at Varsity, I took out my camera and began to video it. Then this guy broke from the striking crowd, and came up to me rather aggresively, shouting at me to stop taking photos and making videos.
I was so shocked I told him not to speak to me like that!
Surely one is allowed to video a public display? Are there rights that prohibit us from making vidoes and taking pictures of events and scenes that are freely available for the public to see and view?
I can understand the laws that apply in museums and art galleries, but I have one friend who through use of their tiny cellphone took pics of the mona lisa, which must be the most protected artwork in the world just about!
