INTERNET VERSION 2 part one

Image sharing is a fantastic way to get your work up on the net and with the internet at the stage its at is great, as we can load pictures in a matter of milliseconds, due to the advance ability's of the broadband, images are freely available. As where 10 years ago you could be waiting anything up to 5 to 10 minuets for an image to load. No more is there any need to buy a reel of film that takes up storage space for other more important things, and making a trip down to the film developers just to wait hours even days for something that should be instant just to find out that they were imperfect.

With the arrival of digital cameras being available to the consumer since the early ninety's but technology still lacked and the internet was still primitive, even though image sharing was around at this point it wasn't good. In the last 5 years the internet has grown very fast and gotten better and better at each turn making image sharing super quick, so what is Image Sharing? 

Really it's very simple image sharing is a service such as flicker, deviant art, newgrounds, instagram, social network sites and the list goes on and on and on. This way of displaying images digitally saves you having to wait for prints also, I know sometimes it can be nice to have a canvas but you can't change that. With mobile devices like Iphones and Androids and now even Nokia, windows phone finally catching up to the heard we are able to publish there and then so we dont forget, these days you rarely ever hear, 

"Oh I wish I had a camera" 

The great thing is not only is there not just images to show your friends but indeed the whole world, so if your pals don't care for your photographs are digital/traditional art, a complete stranger 3000 miles away can tell you how well or how bad you have done on your recent works, it is truly revolutionary. The one thing that make a service like this so amazing is that its free, and lets face it when is free a bad thing, also apps like instagram have loads of free tools to make your photograph look the best it can.

With great power come great responsibility, by this of course i mean there are limitations and risks of what goes up on these sites and higher the risk the younger the age. Unfourtunaly there are people out there that target young children and teens on the internet. Other than that I personally have seen some really immature stuff that has been posted by teens, of which I do not wish to talk about on my blog for security reasons.
