Nearly everyone in developed countries uses a camera almost everyday in some form ot another whether it is on the mobile phone, digital camera, speed camera or even a webcam. The question is, where would we be without all of this technology?
Memories
The camera has been used mostly over the years for picture taking of the family, friends and other things like weddings and events. Without the camera many families would have to struggle a lot to remember all of the great times they had on holiday together. The great thing about photos is that the older you get the more appealing they are as they remind you of all of the precious times. They are also a great way to remember the people that have passed on as they remind you of all of the good times you had.
Military
There is no way on earth that the military and police would be as good as it is now without the camera. A lot of the time the camera is used on choppers to track people down. Military use UAV to plan a lot of their battles as it shows things like positions of troops and the surronding landscape.
Satellite
Believe it or not satellite technology is based heavily on the camera so without these we would be stuffed as we wouldnt be able to see storms or spy on other nations.
Pain
The only problem with all of this is if you drop your camera and it breaks which is why you really should look into getting camera insurance. General gadget insurance will cover you too but it could also be worth looking into cheap laptop insurance if you have a laptop
