Class Debate with a hint of capitalism.

Class Debate with a hint of capitalism.

I think it would be appropriate to end my blogs on the last lecture discussion.

During the debate we were asked the question about whether technology has helped in photography.

The decision was for the movement after hearing all the benefits of it.

My own personal viewpoints of the matter, are along the same lines, through technology people have been able to get to grips and produce photography at a level which only a expert or a very well versed person in photography could have done years ago. 

A idea was brought up about it being more challenging to land a career in the creative sector, my argument to this is why if u can produce a decent photograph and someone can create a outstanding photograph should you be given the job over him/her, the point is competition breeds imagination, to get better and create work which inspires the new age and brings your practice into a whole different level.

The idea that the futurist’s viewpoint is negative, that pushing out with old traditions and replacing them because they are not as quick or not as worthy was brought to the table by the against team. My argument to this is rather simple if its out dated get rid of it, new is always better no matter what the argument. Why use inferior equipment if there’s better available after all you are as good as your equipment.

Capitalism, making gains out of the market because people are constantly trying to keep up with technology could be seen as a down side to this hole futurist theory, but think of it this way without the funding of people purchasing there wares. Or without the need and pressure to invent something better then the competitors, how far down the line would technology be?
