Photographs modernized the way people saw the world starting
in the 19th century. The book
also says that the photograph emerged along with science and advanced medicine,
but maybe photography influenced advance medicine as well as science. I think
this could be so because maybe someone photographed a sickness which then
influenced a scientist to further develop a treatment for the sicknesses.
Photography was also probably used as surveillance and therefore could have also
influence the development of other technologies such as the internet to
communicate with one another. It would be to no doubt that photography would
influence movies. This is because cinema added the elements of movements and
sound to photography since film is basically pictures moving at a fast frame
rate. As for the reproduction of art section of the reading, I was reminded of
the Dada art movement because in Dada, images or things that already existed
would be reused to different forms to send messages.
Cool. Also think Photogrammetry, Microscopy, radiography, tomography...
