History of Photojournalism

2. FLOPPY DISK – TO - USB

Floppy disks were something I got to use pretty often in my childhood.
Whenever we had school projects, our only way of saving our documents were
by inserting a floppy disk into our computer towers and saving the
information. But that has changed greatly! USB connectors are 10 times
smaller than floppy disks and can store much more information.

3. BEEPER – TO - CELLPHONE

Ever since I could remember, beepers were the coolest thing back in the 1990’s.
Doctors, lawyers and those of the wealthier class were the first ones up to date
with this awesome tech creation. But in our society today, everybody owns a cell
phone. Even young children now own cellular devices. Over time, this
advancement has taken over and a cell phone has the power to record, shoot,
download and send just about anything.

4. TAPE – TO - DVD
Watching baby videos of myself taking first steps and first words were all
played via VHS. The children from earlier eras have the opportunity to watch
videos made on DVD’s. DVD’s now can hold images as well as recodrings and
can be played from the tv or inserted into a computer/laptop.

ears were microphones. All of that reminds me of the way people act today in our society.
People are constantly depending on technology for everything. People are no longer hands
on, they much rather do everything with the push of a button. The image closely

8. 2026: DRONES?
Theory:
In my recent chapter 4 blog post I
addressed Drones related to the future of
Photojournalism. This included both
positive and negative reflections of
photography expansion and ethicacy.
Journalists are able to capture moments
not previously accessible or that placed
them in immediate danger. The
pictures/videos of these moments are able
to be shared with the public and expose
them to new elements. I believe Drones
will change the era in which we view
photography to a new level of
understanding. With this said, privacy
becomes a leading issue among the
population. Drones may lead to infiltration
of privacy such as seen in, Big Brother. In
this novel, the citizens of a city are held
hostage within their personal, home and
work lives by an all seeing ‘Big Brother’
corporation. This is ideal of an utopian
futuristic era where control is key. Drones
are none the less an amazing
technological advancement in which we
