Are camera phones destroying an art form?

Are camera phones destroying an art form? You see the selfies that are on Instagram, beautifully taken, filters piled on. It looks like it was taken on a professional camera. Well, usually they are not taken on such expensive cameras. Some people think that iphones, are destroying the art of photography. I believe that with the use of iphones, it makes taking pictures much more convenient for photographers. A lot of people can not afford such expensive equipment. With each phone that is made, the camera gets better with it.

social media video question

what are your thoughts about the videos on social media? Do you agree or disagree with any of it. Discuss ways that you use social media and do you think that there are any concerns about your use of it?


My thoughts on the videos on social media is that they have a lot of great facts that back up their opinions. In some cases I do agree. We use social media for a lot of reasons, both good and bad. I use social media to really just see whats going o n in the world and to catch up with friends. I show people what is going on in my life, whether it is good or bad.

What is Media

What is Media?


Media is all around us. It is now a part of our normal day to day lives. Media will suck us into the wonderful, yet awful pits of hell that now controls our thoughts and actions. The media tells us how to feel, how to act, and how to be ourselves. It puts unrealistic standard to young people who are and can be easily influenced by these sorts of things. While it may have its ups and downs, there are a lot of wonderful things that come along with it.

Media can help with advertising for your business. If you want to go to a college for music, it can be a little difficult to send in a portfolio. So why not make a portfolio on a website and send them the link. It can also be a great way to show off work you've done and really love. You can keep in touch with people who live far away, or you just cant keep in touch with.
