It hasn't been that long ago since people carried around cameras to record special moments in their lives, has it? And by cameras I mean a 35 mm SLR that used something strange and mysterious called film to capture images.
Even with the advent of digital cameras, we still used separate pieces of equipment—not our telephones—because it was difficult to get a high resolution image from that generation of cellphones. But phones aren't just for talking anymore, are they? Look at the capabilities of your smartphone and think of the many and varied tasks you can complete that were unimaginable a short five years ago.
Last summer, while putting together the show daily at the IASA conference inNashville, I snapped a picture on my phone for something we needed. The professional photographer on hand seemed amused that I thought my Samsung Galaxy S smartphone could possibly take a picture that would be good enough for publication. And then he looked at the image and changed his mind immediately.
