Can you find me some actual person who honestly does not know what a camera looks like? Not "someone who has never personally used a camera," not "I'm sure that somewhere out there there's someone who doesn't know what a camera looks like," not "in twenty years, maybe lots of people won't know what a camera looks like."
Someone that, right now, actually honestly has no idea what a camera looks like.
- yoz-y 10y agoWell. I can imagine that there must be some kids (let's say some 4-5 year olds) who already use tablets but they have never had a picture taken with anything else but a phone. I grant you that camera is not the best example since the phones have hardly caught up to good cameras and we will see them at least in some form for a long time.
- Retric 10y agoCamera's are on TV shows, books, and advertising so some 4-5 year old might not know it, but I suspect most would make the connection. EX: http://www.buttonsoundbook.com/site/595626/product/ISBN%200-7853-9955-0 http://www.buttonsoundbook.com/site/595626/product/ISBN%200-... (Recommended for ages 3 years and older.)
- smhost 10y agoImages are everywhere, and images are reality (fuck off, René Magritte). Also, young people don't live in some sort of post-technical isolation. When they go to school, they will probably see the photography students walking around with cameras. And kids still burn music CD's for each other. Because it's cute and sentimental, and it feels a lot better than texting someone a link to a playlist.
