How do you think mobile phones have changed the way that people take photos?

Right, well, I guess nowadays, with a decent smartphone, anyone can take a pretty professional-looking photo. I think smartphones have meant that people take a lot more photos because- well- they always have their phone on them and it’s super easy to take a quick snap and instantly share it with your friends through apps like Instagram and Facebook. It seems to me that we have also changed what we take photos of. We used to take photos of things that we find interesting, and we still do that… But we also tend to take a lot more selfies as well.

Comments

  1. In this regard, mobile phones have changed the way that people take photos. I think with a decent smartphone, it is very reliable for people to take pictures and so looking pretty and attractive because of the hight quality of the cell phones. And it looks like the real one even it is a photo, also people used to have fun and enjoying to take it more and keep it at anytime as you want or select the one you love and keep it as memory or souvenir of the events. It doesn’t matter either you are a professional or not. More to that, people are fun of it, taking a quick snaps and share it immediately to social media without reflecting that was it more interesting if l share it to the mass media or not. Then people are just exciting to share whatever they see even rushing to be first to share it. I think also that people shared a lot of things happen because of that attitude to take a quick snaps and send it on Facebook so people can comment and talk about it. For my opinion, because we are using so much and spend time on social media like Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok, WhatsApp and so on and so far, we need to select in what we post and in what we want to share so that things we send will reach to the entire people and help the user or the wier to take some awareness of things or knowledge can improve our skills like YouTube shared something interesting… etc.. We used to take photos of things that can help people in one or other but nowadays, people do take more photos about themselves or in what we’re doing. In other hand it good and useful for some people according the intention of which you sent and share about. For example some people are sharing their talent on doing things and other people can learn and take a benefit from it and use as a resources for them. Biside of that people, people tend to take more photos about themselves or selfies to create awareness in what they do and like to post to the mass media so that people can see it quick, talk about it and how many people have seen it. It’s like a competition too to the others people and increase their awareness.
    In conclusion, mobile phones have changed the way that people take photos and shared it on social media or to their friends or family. In other hand, it is not everything that people take quick snap and shared to the social media can help. So because of that we need to select in what take and share with because other can you use it to do something terrible and against the intention of the owner.

    1. In this regard, mobile phones have changed the way that people take photos.

I believe that people share a lot of things that happen because of this attitude of taking quick snaps and sending them on Facebook so that people can comment and talk about them. In my opinion, as we spend a lot of time on social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok, and WhatsApp, we need to be selective in what we post and share so that the things we share reach a wide audience and help users gain awareness or knowledge that can improve our skills, like YouTube sharing something interesting, etc. We used to take photos of things that can help others in one way or another, but nowadays people take more photos of themselves or what they are doing. On the other hand, it is good and useful for some people, depending on the intention behind what is being shared. For example, some people share their talents in doing things, which others can learn from and benefit from as a resource. Besides that, people tend to take more selfies to create awareness about what they are doing and like to post them on social media so that people can quickly see, talk about them, and see how many people have viewed them. It’s like a competition for others and increases their awareness. In conclusion, mobile phones have changed the way
