There are many different types of media technologies that have changed factors of the way we live, work, think, and even play. Artist and scientist have maintained to introduce such technologies such as radio, TV, film, photography, and animation to shape and obtain information. Up until today, technology over the years has evolved into what we would now call new media. For example, Past media such as traditional photography have developed into digital photography.The development of digital photography has converted it from its analogue traditional photography in many ways. Traditional photography was used as a chemical process on which a roll of film was used to snap photographs, depending on the light sensitivity, and processed through chemical development physically. Updated to digital, photography became more enhanced and precise. Unlike the traditional way, which only made a copy of the image, it transferred the image by using a binary code that a computer would understand. This convergence enabled the image to be stored in the camera itself; making it easier to access, manipulate, and in all, made users use their creative senses. It also made the camera easier to use and store memory through a computer. Traditional photography had limited capability, only allowing artist and users to copy a scene which could not be viewed until after it was copied. However, digital made photography easier to use only in the aspects of taking photos. But it improved so the possibilities of what to do with the image where endless. The only downfall from this transition of old media to new media is that now it does not take a professional to snap a quality photograph. Overall, scientific and artistic creations have made the use of reached its goal of making such technology superior and more user-friendly.
