FWIW, I spend the day yesterday with a good friend and we went to an arts festival in Baltimore. I pulled out my Samsung Galaxy cell phone out a couple of times to take pictures and if I wanted to, I could have taken hundreds of pictures and if I wanted to, I could have instantly uploaded them to FB or emailed them or when I got home uploaded them to my computer and even edited and or cropped the photos and printed out as many copies as I wanted on my personal printer.
I said to my friend; “Remember when you had to go to the store to buy rolls of film that you had to be careful to load into the camera so as not to expose the film to light and you had to be careful of how many pictures you took so as not to run out of film, then you had to be careful to re-roll the film and put it back into the canister, then you had to take the film and drop it off, paying for it to get developed and then wait to get the pictures back? Then a good half of those pictures never turned out right, were terrible and the ones that weren’t ended up in a cigar box never to be seen again?”
I do remember getting one of those Polaroid One Step cameras one Christmas back in the late 70’s when I was a teenager and thinking how “cool” it was. IIRC although while it was great that it instantly “self” developed – actually within a minute or two, the film was rather expensive and there weren’t many features to those cameras like zoom, etc. and most of the pictures turned out pretty bad then and after a few years most of those Polaroid pictures faded and or deteriorated terribly.
