EDUC 7108 MODULE 2 BLOG


The digital camera and enhanced the way we view photography. It has enhanced picture imagery with the ability to take and delete pictures on site, enhance pictures through features like contrast, brightness, crop, and other image editing features. The digital camera can also store images. The digital camera replaces the need for film and film processing. According to YourDictionary.com (2010), “Unlike traditional film cameras that record a light image on film (analog), digital cameras record discrete numbers for storage on a flash memory card or optical disc.” This comes with the introduction of digital technology. The camera takes video with sound or still photographs, or both, digitally by recording images via an electronic image sensor. Pictures can also be uploaded to computers. With the general idea of the purpose of any camera being to take pictures, the digital camera retrieves the idea of keeping memories from personal to business reasons. It also helps to create imagery from routine life experiences. Even though digital cameras come in many forms, camera phones are more preferred.

  1. Your last statement made me think. "...camera phones are much preferred." If we can make digital cameras incorporated into phones, what else do you think might be able to do this? Maybe something as small as an ink pen?

  2. I like your idea about a digital camera that “… retrieves the idea of keeping memories from personal to business reasons”. Recording memories and pictures of documents in business is an important part of our personal and financial history. As they say, a picture is worth 1000 words. Having such a document recorded digitally is a quick and easy way to access previous ideas.

    I have even had an insurance company tell us to record improvements made on our house in pictorial form in case we ever have a need or a claim with them. They did this rather than to send an adjuster.

  3. Hi Carol,
    I too feel that digital cameras have changed the way we capture meaningful moments and memories in our lives. I personally have hundreds of pictures at this point that I need to have developed but for now they're digitally stored. It's just easier to share them that way.
