Digital cameras brought about a revolution in the way people interact with their photography. Instead of taking roll of film containing 24 or 36 shots to a drugstore to be developed and printed, digital technology allows thousands of images to be stored on one memory card that can be transferred to a computer's hard drive. These images can be sent across the world by email seconds after they've been taken. Many people still like to have a hard copy of their photography, though.
