I have just migrated my Photo collection from private NAS and and other storage mediums into iCloud. And by that I realised how my photo collection library's metadata, frequency of photos has so much increased after the smartphones became popular (and then, SLRs getting GPS sensors, etc.). Nothing of that is surprising to me in retrospect, but browsing through that photo collection its still astonishing. Side note: I remember back then, I had an iPod touch and a plain Nokia phone and I really failed to see the value of the iPhone as compared to this iPod touch. I got wifi almost everywhere. I also remember when the first people my age (typically broke college students) got their smart phones, HTC was big, I wouldn't have a smartphone for 2 more years. Then going for a Samsung Bada, then various Androids (Motorola Moto G, the initial One Plus, Huaweis) and finally in 2020 I settled on an iPhone.
