How did digital photography change the world?

Remember when we only used film cameras, and had a maximum of 36 shots on one film. When we used to have to be wise with our shots because we didn't want to waste them. When we used to have to pay for the film. When the important thing used to be what film we're using instead of what camera.

Now that there's digital cameras, notice how almost everyone has one. Notice how some of the shots you take, you only take them because they are there. Like taking a picture of a boring statue, you'll probably never even look at the picture again, but you took it purely because you could.

Can you imagine how things like Facebook or MySpace would work with film cameras? Take pictures, get them printed, scan them and then upload them. Most people buy cameras just so they could upload photos on the net.

I wouldn't say digital photography has changed the world, but it sure has made us look silly faster.
