Internet, blogging, facebook, google, digital photography

Blogging, it was so alien to me but with the help of my ever tech savy daughter learnt that people actually read what people write in their blogs and comment as well!! Something strange for a chap like me who just got onto facebook very recently, until then was wondering what's the hoopla all about.

Now facebook helps me keep in touch with my friends, friends who were my school mates and some with whom I had lost touch for over 30 years. Technology sometimes can be so amazing, I at times wonder what was life before google happened to all of us.

I remember as a college student I would go to the USIS library and update myself on photography and what have you, now with the click of a button you get whatever you want on the browser, latest updated information and not what the library thought was worth stocking as books. During a day I actually monitored that I have at times been on the google page hunting information as many as 10-12 times!!

An evolution happened with digital photography - overnight we have so many people who are not shying away from photography, earlier clicking pictures was an expensive hobby. Either you had the aim and shoot or the SLRs which most budding photographers would find rather expensive to buy.

Then came along the digital cameras, phone cams are getting better and better and suddenly you have everyone clicking anything and everything. Thanks to advancement in digicams the phones are getting better and better camera options, vga, 1mgp, and now right upto 12mpg on your phone.

It would infact make more sense if some camera company built a phone around a camera rather than the other way around, that would give people the option of buying a decent digi cam along with a phone...all rolled into one.
