Twenty years ago when you made a home movie, it was most likely a Super 8 which you watched on a five minute reel and then put it in a cupboard to collect dust. If you took a photo of anything, you then dropped the film off at a grocery store, drug store, or camera shop and came back later that week (if you were lucky) to pick up your pictures. Today, most of us carry a better camera for both digital and still photography in our pockets or purses than we lugged around with a carrying strap two decades ago. Our cameras are our mobile phones. The impact mobile phones have had not only on our personal memories, but on journalism and professional photography itself has been staggering. This infographic from frugaldad.com shows us just how powerful the little devices we carry to make phones calls truly are today.
