Today, with advanced technology, digital cameras are practically an endangered species, being replaced by cell phones that even have their own integrated camera.
We live in a moment in history in which technology is part of people’s daily lives and a clear example of this can be seen in the use of cell phones today.
If you turn to look at your mobile device, you will realize that, in addition to a device to make phone calls, it has a device to send messages, entertainment, to make payments, to make purchases, among many other functions.
In recent years, the use of smartphones had significant growth, registering sales of 1.5 million units in 2021according to a study revealed by Gartner.
On the other hand, a study carried out by StatCounter revealed that, in May 2021, Samsung was the smartphone manufacturer that obtained the largest market share in Mexicorepresenting 25.4 percent of total mobile phone sales in the country.
And it is that, little by little, the use of smart phones or smartphones displaced habits such as that of digital cameras and even iPhones, because, with the arrival of applications such as Spotify, YouTube or Apple Music, now the entire musical catalog is Find it in the digital section.
Digital cameras, in extinction?
At present, it can be said that digital cameras are a device in extinction, as a recent survey conducted by Statista’s Global Consumer Survey.
Of a total of one thousand respondents, in Spain, 52 percent of users declared having a digital camera in a period between 2021 and 2022.
The same study also reveals that in Mexico less than 40 percent have a digital camera in a similar period (2021/2022).
Little by little, the use of this technology is disappearing thanks, to a large extent, to the arrival of smartphones, which are becoming more sophisticated every day.
Without a doubt, technology came to change our lives radically; today, just by unlocking the phone, we have access to the most relevant news of the moment and to a much broader communication, where the use of the camera is of great relevance in these times dominated by content creators and visual social networks, like TikTok, Snapchat and Instagram.
