Speaking of camera phones photography, it is now universally accepted and attractive today. More and more people tend to use phones as their little handy camera instead of carrying actual cameras out. It is really a progress on photography or it's actually destroying the aesthetics of photography?
The world is full of Instagram photos and imagines from different kinds of social media, and majority of them are taken by phones camera. Photography reaches a very highly popular level currently, but things turn to the opposite when they reach the extreme sometimes. Higher quantity but lower quality, might be the situation now in the area of digital art today, according to some people .
I personally consider phones photography to be a easy way, or, a sort of starting way of photography despite that I love taking my Goddamn digital camera, go hit the street, and I really think phone's lens is not satisfactory at all. But it's convenient. Today, as a quote from the article by Stuart Jeffries saying," People are taking lots of pictures but nobody's looking at them." "People snap away thinking." The problem is not about phones or social media but about how people use them. It depends on whether you regard your phone as your camera or just something that can post with Instagram.

Social media
Bill

Well we all agree the fact that social media provide chances and access for we human interacting with others all over the world. The virtual connection brings people together by internet but, to some extent social media makes people unsocial. Today the easiest but also could be the hardest thing we all are facing, I think, is to communicate face to face.
I was seriously discomforted by those people who went out for meals together with me and was on their devices all the time. Photos before eating, photos while eating, photos after eating, and instagram posting throughout the entire meals time. They probably want to share how delicious the food is or just posting selfies, which I totally understand and think it's a great thing to do, however, they may do these things at home after the time with somebody else. People are interacting with someone who may be on the other side of Earth online instead of communicating with their friends who sit opposite to them. Just standing on a very subjective perspective,could it considered to be a kind of unsocial isolation?
What a irony.

People use internet seeking information form this mass world, people use different kinds of social software for communicating and interacting with each other, people use Photoshop for advertising, people use camera for photography...Media has been structured into this age of technology. Today a person may be subjected to more new information in a day than a person before the birth of internet in his entire life. Media makes different types of life style.
