The Technological Advancement and Social Impact of the Camera
The first camera was invented and patented in 1840 by Alexander Wolcott (www.ask.com). Although the idea of picture making was created by Joseph Nicephore Niepce in 1826 and in 1827, he actually produced a photographic image. This day and age, we have cameras that are right in our phones and we carry them everywhere. It is very convenient to be with a group of friends at a reunion and all can take out their phone and get a quick picture, even upload it to a social networking sight if they choose, go home and print out whatever size picture you choose, frame it and hang it on the wall instantly. Nevertheless, we need to take into consideration the downside to having this convenience. What is it that makes this possible for us to do these things? I for one am concerned about what impact these tiny cameras could have on mine and my children 's health (www.mbkds.net).
Benefits of Scientific and Technological Advancement
The obvious benefits of having a camera available at your disposal are many. To be able to take a picture whenever you want to is priceless really, if you ask me. When our children are small or there is a special occasion we are attending, those are great reasons to have a camera right at hand. Many times I remember my mother having to pay for a photographer for a special occasion. Another good reason for the advancement of the technology of the camera into the cell phone is cost efficiency and space. You have two much needed items (in today’s world) in one space that you can purchase for a minimal price
