A Few Examples Of How Camera Phones Change Things
from the not-all-the-same-any-more dept
There have been a bunch of stories lately about how camera phones are scaring a bunch of companies into banning them from the office (or at least setting up policies about the devices). However, camera phones are changing plenty of other things besides what you can and can't do at the office. According to this blurb at Poynter, a recent news story about a car accident in Sweden used a photo taken from a camera phone by the reporter to accompany the story. A real photographer showed up later, but his photos weren't nearly as newsworthy - so the lower resolution camera phone photo stayed. It won't be long before such things are commonplace. Even better, the photos won't be taken by reporters on the scene - but spectators. Meanwhile, PicturePhoning.com has found an article about a student who was suspended after his camera phone was found with photos of "gang-related activities". So, be careful what you store on your camera phone - it may be used against you. Of course, if I were the student, I would protest this. Just because I have photos of something, it doesn't mean I took part in anything.

Too good to be true ...
I for see websites or shows centered around the advent of the camera phone being used similar to the days of " America's funniest home videos " & " Real People "

I do wish the quality was better, but a lousy picture is certainly better than no picture at all -- a point many people seem to miss.

What About Stores that Don't Allow Cameras

Sort of in the vein of the previous post, what does an electronics store that sells digital cameras and camera phones do when they have a no-picture policy?
