Digital vs. Analog

Last class we talked about digital vs. analog technology.  Growing up we used the disposable cameras that you had to drop off at the local store to have developed.  I always remember being anxious to see the outcome of the pictures and hated waiting for them to return.  I never experienced the phenomenon of a black room, but I understand the concept.  Now, we have cameras were we can see the picture as soon as we take it, make edits, and print them off all in the comfort of our own home.  Does this take away from the experience and art of taking pictures?  For some yes, and for others know.  It just simply makes their lives easier.  One day there will be a point were no one even remembers the disposable cameras.  Our society progresses based on our impatient needs.  One day there might even be an upgrade from the digital picture taking.
