Communication
Cliches are clichés because everyone has heard them before.
A picture is worth a thousand words. Photos and videos taken with cameras are
used to communicate, to tell stories. The camera was and is a tool or war, used
to capture events or people. It is also a tool of everyday lives--just browse
an album on Facebook and you'll have "read" a kind of story.
Education
Some people learn by hearing, others by writing, some by
seeing. The camera has added a new dimension to education, allowing photographs
and video to become learning tools. Imagine a medical school textbook without
photographs. Learning takes on a whole new dimension when a student can
visualize the medium.
Preservation
The camera helps to create and preserve memories of
historical and/or sentimental value. Famous photographs of notable moments and
events from history were made possible by the camera. Every day babies are
born, people get married, and all of it is documented with cameras, a source of
helping us remember our past. The camera is a valuable source to preserve
history.
