Advantages and limitations:
The advantages of a digital camera is that it is portable which means that the user can take pictures around world just by putting the device in their bag. Another advantage of using digital camera is that you can take lots of pictures depending if the size of their memory card, this advantage is very good for graphics work as the user can use different images to test their tools on. The next advantage of digital camera is that the pictures you have taken can be stored into an external device so you can delete the images in your camera to clear up the space and take more pictures. This can be done by a USB cable or a memory card that can be connected into your computer or laptop. This is important as you can use the images in programs such as Photoshop. The last advantage of digital camera is that you can delete the pictures you want and keep the pictures you want to keep. This is important because it will make more space in your memory card to take pictures.
The limitations of a digital camera is that when someone takes a pictures, the image takes lots of space in your memory card which leads to the user to buy larger storage memory card which is very expensive to buy. This is a drawback because the user can only take a certain amount of images which he is not able to take lots of pictures to test them out in a program such as Microsoft paint. Another limitations is when a hard disk or memory card is corrupted th...

...oftware’s are easy to use for users, however paint will be much easier to use as it has fewer tools and effects than Photoshop. Another point is that both software’s has lots of different colours, shapes and fonts to choose from which an advantage for both programs is. The next point is that Photoshop has lots of layers to use however, paint can only have one layer to put everything thing in. A layer is an important tool as it allows user to put different effect and features to each layer and then can merge the layers or delete the layers if they are not good enough, this is important in making a graphic work. The last point to compare is that paint does not have filters or retouching options to put in an image however Photoshop has all these features. These filters and retouching options are used to remove dust and scratches from old images to making them look new.
Cameras go way back to the year 1879, and have advanced greatly throughout the years. They used to be huge and bulky with all kinds of attachments and stands. Now they are so small and thin that they are put in everyday items that we use, for instance, cell phones and laptops. Backs then cameras were less than $40 and they were made with glass that was 6.5 by 8.5 inches thick (Patti). Now in this time of age, cameras can go from a few hundred bucks to thousands of dollars depending on the camera, and they are much smaller with clearer pictures now. In 1912 Kodak came out with the Vest Pocket camera, which sold for only six dollars. It had a glass lens of 2 1/4 by 3 1/4 inches thick, which is much
Some Indian cultures believe that if their picture was taken their soul would become trapped in that photograph. Others believe that a camera captures the true essence of a person. That when you look into the photograph you can see who that person truly was. When you click on that button on a camera you are capturing that moment in time. Later when you examine the product of that moment you can see what that person was feeling at that very moment. Pictures can be moving, they can tell a story, and they can preserve a memory.
Nowadays, almost everybody has some machine at hand, be it computers, cell phones, or cars. Most technology has a camera, whether it is used to take a selfie or film a video. Sometimes people do not have
... wealthy enough to hire a professional photographer could record the many precious moments in their life. People would take pictures of events and places that they've been to, as well as portraits of their friends, family and loved ones. This lead to families of all stripes keeping photo albums in their homes to flip through and reminisce. Even before portable cameras came into vogue, photography changed the way people interact with each other. Young suitors would often attach photo portraits of themselves to their love letters, and soldiers going to war would often bring photos of their sweethearts back home. Not only that, but things such as photographs of famous celebrities became prized collectibles, with photo cards of famous people being traded around in a way not unlike the baseball cards of the 20th century. The next major innovation is digital photography.
Before you can make a picture, you have to have a camera. Some of you already have a camera, in which case I will be showing you ways to use your camera more effectively. Others may want a new camera, or you may not have a camera at all. Before you can truly shop for a camera, you need to know what you need.
Digital communication has evolved in such a rapid time. Some say that it is bad, others say it is good, and other say it can be good and bad. In Gerald Graff’s and Cathy Birkenstein’s book, They Say/I say, they have a chapter that talks about digital communication. They talk about the pros and cons on it as well. Digital communication is destroying young user’s ability to communicate but it also is helping spread viral memes quickly, and bringing people together.
Photography has come a long way from the heliograph to the digital photograph. Throughout the history of photography there has always been a popular demand for a faster and more precise way to create the image; dating back to 1837 when the first ever Daguerreotype made its appearance in France. The Daguerreotype required only 3-30 minutes of exposure time to create an extremely detailed representation of nature. Along with the need of accuracy, came the need for making multiple copies of the same image. With this new need came the collodian, which could not only create an exact replica of the world, but could also create multiple copies of that replica. In the pursuit of extreme precision and multiplicity we have arrived at the era of digital photography. The first ever-recorded attempt to build a digital camera came in 1975 by Kodak.
While generations of today have witnessed countless technological advances, there are also downfalls to these progressions. Technology interferes with education, attention spans, relationships, social interactions, self esteem, and even creativity. In order for technology to have more pros than cons, it is pertinent to keep a clear perspective. Monitoring how much you or your children spend time using electronics is the key to making sure that technology is not harmful.
Kodak is the world’s foremost imaging innovator. George Eastman put the first simple camera into the hands of a world of consumers in 1888. In so doing, he made a cumbersome and complicated process easy to use and accessible to nearly everyone. Since that time, the Eastman Kodak Company has led the way with an abundance of new products and processes to make photography simpler, more useful and more enjoyable. With sales of $13.3 billion in 2006, the company is committed to a digitally oriented growth strategy focused on helping people better use meaningful images and information in their life and work. (Kodak, 2007)
“Beauty can be seen in all things, seeing and composing the beauty is what separates the snapshot from the photograph.” as said by Matt Hardy. Throughout history, photography has continued to piece together the elements of art through the lens a camera. Photography has given everyone the chance to become an artist by capturing light. The 21st century would not be the same without the ability to capture memories that can be held for a lifetime. Today, anyone is able to see the rest of the world that they have never traveled to, never seen, or never even heard of due to the photography that has established and shaped our culture. Major achievements in the history of photography are the first camera obscura, the realization that silver turns black in light, the invention of the pentaprism, and the development of colored film. As more advancements are constructed, many more achievements will be made. Photography will been known as one of the greatest technological advances of all time.
The Oxford English online dictionary defines technology: as the product of such application; technological knowledge or know-how; a technological process, method, or technique. Also: machinery, equipment, etc., developed from the practical application of scientific and technical knowledge. In the space of a few decades technology as experienced incredible growth and has become a crucial part of our everyday life. Most of us use technology in every aspect of our lives whether we are at work, school, or relaxing at home in our free time. Now most of us could not imagine returning to a time in which technology was not so readily available. Most of us expect to have access to information at a moment’s notice. There are many advantages and disadvantages to our obsession with technology.
Technology has changed many aspects of our lives, so why should we expect less of the classroom atmosphere? Technology in the classroom has changed the way students learn and the way teachers teach. Technology today is integrated into the classroom as a teaching tool rather than being taught as a course. There are many ways that technology is used in today’s classroom such as the World Wide Web, Power Point, and Excel (Starr, 2011). Teachers will continue to be the most important aspect of a child’s education because they teach and technology does not. The use of technology in the classroom can bring advantages to a child’s education but can also bring disadvantages (Cleaver, 2011).
Audio/video editing and composition have been made much easier by computers. Cutting and pasting is no longer comprised of using scissors and tape on large reels of film. It no longer costs thousands of dollars of equipment to make a film or to compose music. Now emerging musicians have the ability to compose their own songs and publish them without having to obtain a record contract. Amateur filmmakers can produce work from their own homes. Graphics engineers can use computers to create three-dimensional models, or even to generate short or full-length films.
Technology has its advantages as well as its disadvantages, some of the advantages are that it makes connecting to people much easier, simpler and in addition, it makes our everyday life simpler in ways people 50 years ago never imagined it would. Not only that, it makes life much more fun and convenient. Now, tackling disadvantages, technology has led us humans into creating weapons of mass destruction and turned us into mindless irresponsible creatures who depend on machines to build everything and get everything for us, forgetting the consequences of health issues such that affect us personally and the ecosystem as a whole. Like everything out there, needless to say, technology has advantages and disadvantages, and we shouldn't forget that the advantages overshadow the disadvantages. Let us not forget that it helped us know achieve and made cultural interactions much easier.
