Are digital pictures already obsolete?
I've noticed something really strange lately. My kids don't seem to be taking many digital pictures with their digital cameras any more.
It's not that they don't like the cameras. They take them everywhere they go.
But instead of taking digital pictures they are taking digital video.
Kids don't have technology baggage
I'm not sure why I didn't see this coming. It reminds me of the first time my son printed something from the Internet and it came out black and white. He couldn't understand what happened to the color.
When I tried to explain to him that dad's color printer is expensive and is only for really important documents that need to be in color all he heard was blah-blah-blah my document is not in color blah-blah-blah.
It's the same with the digital cameras. You and I grew up with still photos so that's what we still shoot. But my kids think, why would you shoot a digital picture of someone when you can capture so much more with video?
Wonder how long it will be before they each have their own Flip video cameras?
