Electric cars are the new digital cameras — Mickey Mellen

Back in the mid-90’s, my family got our first digital camera, a Casio QV-11. It was really neat, but took absolutely awful photos compared to film cameras. That was ok, though, because we knew what we were getting into and we knew that each model would get better and better. Plus, it was really fun to use!

Jumping ahead to 2007, the first two models of the iPhone had rather poor cameras on them. They were better than the camera my family had a decade earlier, but they weren’t great — you couldn’t even take a photo of a business card because the resolution wasn’t high enough to read the words. What Apple knew, though, was that the cameras would only get better and eventually we’d get to a place where you could take stunningly good photos and hold essentially an unlimited amount on your device. That’s where we are now.

It feels like electric cars are where digital cameras were years ago, but some people can’t see the benefits that we’re heading toward. Take this image, which I’ve seen shared a few times on social media:
