"In the future, he said, the “real value creation will come from stitching together photos as a fabric, extracting information and then providing that cumulative information as a totally different package.”
What? Obfuscating language that is supposed to sound "profound" or "smart" just sounds like bullshit, which is exactly what it is.
The future of photography as predicted in this article sounds depressing as hell. How much further can our society be dumbed down and turned into a superficial shell of itself? That said, there is no guarantee that the future of photography will unfold as predicted here.
But a society that values only money and denies ever growing numbers of people a stable future and the fair chance to earn a decent livelihood is a society that is on the road to revolution. The rise of a demagogue like Trump is a warning shot across the bow. There is more at stake here than photography. Laugh, roll your eyes or downvote but people who predict unpopular, fantastic sounding societal change are often laughed at...until they are proven right.
