Past

Present

Digitisation

• “what is new in digital photography is the increased number of possibilities for reviewing and retouching one’s own pictures, first on a small camera screen and later on the screen of a computer”

(Van Dijck, 2008, p. 66)

… first on a small camera screen …

… and later on the screen of a computer

Convergence

• alters the relationship between existing technologies, industries, markets, genres and audiences.

• refers to a process, but not an endpoint

(Jenkins, 2004, p.34)

A slide show past – thanks to Kodak

Goodbye Kodak

• Kodak “is reportedly preparing to file for bankruptcy, a casualty of the digital age” (Harrison, 2012).
