The ability to take photos whenever there is an opportunity is taken for granted by many – thanks to the digital camera, and even more thanks to camera phones. But do you still remember the old days of having to manually roll the film and having to take a full roll of film to be developed by a professional studio. Then there was the issue of the uncertainty of how the photos would turn out. Exciting times, those were, but there were inconveniences.
With digital cameras being so cheap and accessible, things have obviously changed. Some say for the better, others say for the worse.
In terms of being able to store and share photos, I think it’s all for the better. I don’t know about you, but I think that photos are meant to be shared with people who matter. And with the advent of online photo sharing, the entire picture just got better.
You may or may not agree with me, but you can hardly deny that practically everyone relies on online photo sharing services. Whether you talk about Flickr, Instagram, or Photobucket, the underlying idea is that people flock to sites where they can upload their photos for easy access and sharing.
Take a look at this infographic which touches on the history of online photo sharing. Even better, it compares several services to help users decide which is the best for them.
