I read in the winter issue of Aperture, about how civilians in the middle east are able to identify terrorist members by images that they capture on their cell phones. As well as certain members of gangs and other organizations have been able to be arrested through cell media. Who needs photo journalists when anyone with a cell phone can document on a whim?
I feel like the way "us kids" operate now we are constantly attached to some kind of electronic device be it ipods, or cells, or laptops ect. we have a constant contact with some kind of network that we can wireless-ly send information. We can take in so much more information through our eyes as well as our devices, that in bulk it creates a fantastic database of current culture. We live in a fast pace society, but we can document it in a fast pace method as well. HOW CrAzY!
i like to think of all these images as some kind of digital view master...
