Conclusion

    Our research has led us to an understanding of how much of an impact digital cameras have on our society. They are changing the way we take photos, communicate, and see the world. Not only do they produce an image almost immediately, but they are also capable of incredible detail. Digital cameras are used in daily life, and also on a higher level, such as use in the news, advertising, and even more endless possibilities. Because communication is what makes us human, digital cameras are incredibly important and are just another step in our advancement. Without even realizing it, we are exposed to the influence of digital cameras every day. On tv, in magazines or newspapers, and in advertisements there are undoubtedly countless photos taken by a digital camera, a number that will only increase as people make the inevitable switch away from conventional film-using cameras to the conveniences of digital.

    In addition to gaining an appreciation for how digital cameras are a part of our lives and culture, we learned how physics makes it all possible. From the solar panel-like cells that convert light into electrical charges to the mixing of light to create images, digital cameras are full of physics. Refraction and optics are involved because digital camears use a lens, whose focal point is crucial in making a photo. Physics is present in the computers that turn the electrical charges into data, and so forth. A digital camera is dependent upon physics.

    The technology of transferring the image created by the refraction of light to a set of electric impulses has made it easier for us to record events. The physics of it is easy enough to understand, but it’s made such a difference to the way we share our memories. Digital cameras are not a necessity for life, but having them improves the life of people. From the research that we have done we have learned how this simple technology can brighten the day of another. Digital cameras have made our day-to-day relationships and our world better.
